ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring and generating on-line, real time displays of two and three dimensional nuclear reactor core power distributions and off-line, periodically updated summaries of three dimensional nuclear reactor core power and burnup distributions is disclosed. The method and apparatus makes use of information obtained from inlet sensors and core-exit thermocouples to produce enthalpy rise values. Flux measurements are combined with enthalpy to produce power values. In one aspect of the invention, deviations from reference values are classified and displayed on a two-dimensional color graphics terminal where the various classifications are displayed according to a color code which enables a rapid and convenient method of analysis of the dynamics of the reactor operation.
