Abstract

Modern systems for monitoring the thermal state of the fast neutron reactor core are designed for the early detection of cooling disturbances in individual fuel assemblies and operation of the core as a whole.
The report presents a modern core temperature control system for the BN-800 being the part of reactor diagnostics system, as well as the results obtained during the operation of the system at the start-up and pilot operation stages of the power unit.
The statistical estimates of the temperature distributions, spectral characteristics of the neutron-noise and temperature channels are presented for various power levels the reactor was operating. The core diagnostics is provided based on the algorithms for determining diagnostic parameters and their deviations from the “norm” state. The possibility of operational detection of deviations from normal operation by measuring the temperature parameters of the core was confirmed.
