The on-line surveillance system by Merlin Gerin

  • 1. Etablissements Merlin et Gerin, 38 - Grenoble (France)

Description

Automated diagnostic system SES was developed for French 1300 MW pressurized water reactors. The system primarily fulfils the functions of monitoring primary circuit component leaks, loose parts and vibrations inside the reactor core. The core of the system is a PDP 11/23 computer to which up to 15 stellite units can be connected. Further development of the SES system is focused on the extension of diagnostic possibilities by the detection of fuel cladding damage and by the monitoring of primary coolant flow and of the vibrations of main circulation pumps. Artificial intelligence elements will be incorporated in the existing system and it will also be possible to adapt the whole system to BWR's and fast reactors. (Z.M.) 10 figs
