Development of a personal computer-based reactivity meter for a research reactor

Creator:

Bakir, Alla J. M.

Abstract:

A personal computer with a Data Acquisition and Control Adapter interface has been used to monitor the power of the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor, and from the time behavior of the reactor power the reactivity has been computed using the point kinetics equations and displayed on a digital read-out...

Gravity-based non-invasive superconducting gravimeter system for reactor coolant inventory monitoring

Creator:

Danielson, Jordan J.

Abstract:

All nuclear reactors rely heavily on the use of level sensing instrumentation to detect the behaviour of liquid in vessels. The majority of level sensing instruments are differential pressure sensing meters, which are invasive and could be the failure source in the pressure boundary of the primary coolant system. In...
