    Sammanfattning : The Moderator Temperature Coefficient of reactivity (MTC) is an important safety parameter of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). In most countries, the so-called at-power MTC has to be measured a few months before the reactor outage, in order to determine if the MTC will not become too negative. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Monitoring and diagnostics of a reactor core at a given state is very important for detecting potential problems and anomalies at an early stage. Several methods exist for these purposes, but the majority of them require a disruption of the plant operation, e.g. by shut-down or by perturbation of the system. LÄS MER
