ABSTRACT:
A real-time parameter margin monitoring system, for a pressurized vessel of an operating nuclear power plant, includes a data acquisition subsystem for acquiring a plurality of real-time parameters associated with the pressurized vessel; a first subsystem for determining a plurality of characteristic parameters from the real-time parameters; a second subsystem for determining a normal operating envelope associated with the pressurized vessel, with the normal operating envelope having a plurality of dimensions each of which corresponds to one of the characteristic parameters, and with each of the dimensions having at least one limit associated with the corresponding one of the characteristic parameters; and a display subsystem for displaying at least one representation of at least some of the characteristic parameters and displaying representations of at least some of the limits of the normal operating envelope, with the representation of some of the characteristic parameters being associated with some of the limits of the normal operating envelope.
