Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back The new nuclear fuel burst can detection monitoring system for RBMK-1000 reactor with function to increase leakage detection sensitivity at early stages I.P. BIRYUKOV, S.V. VOLKOV, V.V. MAKAROV The article describes the new nuclear fuel burst can detection system SKGO—01 structure, designed for RBMK-1000 reactors. The system is capable to provide new functions of relative gamma-radiation radiometric monitoring within the different areas of fission products and background radiation spectra. Proposed monitoring methods allow to detect leakage at the earlier stage in comparison with the traditional procedure. Key words: fuel element, monitoring system, functions of relative radiometry, earlier leakage detection. E-mail:volkovsv@sniip.ru
