A method for prompt calculation of neutron flux from measured SPND currents
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 1997Abstract A new, approximate method is given to calculate the in-core flux from the current of SPND s, with a delay of only a few seconds. The stability of this stepwise algorithm is proven to be satisfactory, and the results of tests performed both on synthetic and on real data are presented.

Instrumentation neutronique du réacteur EPR - Excore – SPND – AMS
Génie nucléaire, 2014La surete du coeur en fonctionnement est liee a des criteres portant sur la generation locale de chaleur et donc a la distribution de puissance. Pour evaluer cette distribution, le reacteur EPR s'appuie sur plusieurs types de detecteurs neutroniques : chambres d'ionisation et compteurs proportionnels hors de la cuve, detecteurs fixes collectrons au ...

Design of discrete-time Kalman filter based delay compensator for Rhodium-103 SPND
2018 Indian Control Conference (ICC), 2018Rhodium-103 Self-Powered Neutron Detectors (SPNDs) are used in typical Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) for flux measurement. They are slow responding neutron detectors. The slow response of Rhodium-103 SPND restricts its direct use for monitoring, control and determination of parameters like neutron flux distribution, local flux peaking.
