In a method and apparatus for reducing the effects of frequency burst noise and noise spikes accompanying a random pulse signal, pulses with an amplitude above a high threshold or below a low threshold are eliminated, with the remaining pulses of intermediate amplitude being statisticall
A nuclear reactor power monitor utilizes radiation sensors, and a microprocessor implementing alpha-beta tracker equations. The use of alpha-beta tracker equations results in good noise suppression and fast follow capability. Therefore, alignment of the reactor power monitor is simpl
A method of determining the operability of a source range detector located adjacent a nuclear reactor in which the source range detector generates a count corresponding to the neutrons emitted by the reactor when the reactor is operating within the source range and a predetermined voltag
An inadvertent approach to criticality in a nuclear fueled electric power generating unit is detected and an alarm is generated through on-line monitoring of the neutron flux. The difficulties of accurately measuring the low levels of neutron flux in a subcritical reactor are overcome by
