Proceedings of a Specialists' Meeting
Mito-shi, Japan, 14-17 October, 1996This Specialists' Meeting on In-core Instrumentation and Reactor Core Assessment is the fourth in a series initiated by the NEA Committee on Reactor Physics and continued by the NEA Nuclear Science Committee. The first meeting was held in Fredrikstad, Norway, in 1983, the second at Cadarache, France, in 1988 and the third in Pittsburgh, USA in 1991.The purpose of the meeting was to review the improvements in the methods used to gather and interpret information on the conditions of the reactor core. Thirty-nine papers were presented in eight sessions covering core monitoring, core performance assessment, safety analysis, instrumentation, advanced instrumentation technologies, signal processing and other miscellaneous measurements. One hundred and nine participants from nineteen countries and International Organisations attended the meeting.
Participation from non-OECD countries was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Working Group on Nuclear Power Plant Control and Instrumentation (IWGNPPCI) of the International Atomic Energy Agency.Table of Contents:
