Nuclear instrument and measurement researches at the Measurement Automation Department of KFKI (Central Research Institute for Physics, Budapest (Hungary))

Two main fields of electronic instrument and measurement research: development of nuclear instrument modules and material testing are discussed. From the modules developed applying also an Intelligent Crate Controller microcomputer, reactor instrumentation and control devices, systems for radiation protection etc. can be assembled. In acoustic emission technique, a new field for the on-line surveillance and monitoring of nuclear power plants a new movable defect-localization laboratory with a 32-channel acoustic detector system has been developed.
