Substantiation of the Choice of Threshold Parameters for the System Monitoring the Fuel-Containing Materials in the Object “Cover”

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

A substantiation is given for the choice of threshold values of the neutron flux density (threshold-1 – “Attention” and threshold-2 – “Danger”), and formulas are derived for calculating these values for systems which are being designed and are currently in operation for monitoring the state of fuel-containing materials in the object “Cover” at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
