Ultrasonic ranging technique for obstacle monitoring above reactor core in prototype generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
As the refueling of a sodium-cooled fast reactor is conducted by rotating part of the reactor head without opening it, the monitoring of existing obstacles that can disturb the rotation of the reactor head is one of the most important issues.
