Neutron detectors
Product details
Rolls-Royce Excore neutron detectors provide measurement of the reactor neutron flux for the Neutron Instrumentation System (NIS) to continuously monitor instantaneous nuclear power, power fluctuations, and radial/axial power distribution in the reactor.
Rolls-Royce designs, manufactures and installs three different types of neutron detectors:
- Boron-lined proportional counter for the low level range (CPNB type);
- Compensated boron-lined ionization chamber for the intermediate level range (CC type);
- Non-compensated boron-lined ionization chamber for the power level range (CNC or CBL type).
Our designs amalgamate different detector types, such as proportional counters, ionisation chambers and fission chambers; and all comply with international standards (IEC 780, IEEE 323, IEEE 344).
Features
- Enhanced performance through the detectors extended lifetime;
- Extensive feedback experience due to our installed base in more than 100 nuclear reactors
