Abstract

Problems that are extremely difficult to solve without the development of special systems using optical fibers are identified. In this work, we substantiated the need to measure the parameters of the coolant to control the operation of a nuclear reactor and ensure efficient heat transfer to increase the efficiency of electric power generation. We developed the fiber optic system’s design to control the coolant parameters and determined the requirements for the type of fiber. The negative influence of γ - radiation on the optical fiber and the processes of relaxation of E′ centers have been investigated. In this work, we proposed methods for measuring the flow rate of the coolant q and the level of oxygen activity and presented the results of experimental studies and measurements.
