Description

Using the case of modern in-core instrumentation employed in the Kruemmel boiling water reactor the authors show how existing nuclear technology products can be advanced by specific feedback of experience from plant operation and revision activities, and improved upon by technical measures so that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle is complied with in an exemplary way.
