Diagnostics of void fluctuations in a reactor coolant channel using neutron noise techniques

Description

An experimental investigation has been initiated to study the characteristics of the local neutron detector response perturbations due to the stochastic nature of coolant void formation and motion in a water channel. Measurements of the neutron transmission through a water channel containing air and steam bubbles have been performed. Auto-power spectral densities and probability density functions of the detected stochastic component of the transmitted neutron beam have been found to be very sensitive to the characteristics of the bubble generation and motion
