Measurements and Instrumentation Systems for Nuclear Power Plants

Measurements and Instrumentation Systems for Nuclear Power Plants provides a comprehensive analysis of nuclear instrumentation system design, sensing methods, measurement techniques, control, and actuation. Editors Kisner, Cetiner and Holcomb of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and their diverse team of expert contributors from industry and academia, identify the measurement need, theory of measurement methods and practical techniques for designing measurement systems. They also discuss the implementation challenges and reliability issues for instrumentation and control of nuclear power plants. After providing clear coverage on the fundamentals of measurements pertaining to nuclear power systems, readers are provided with an understanding of specific measurement domains such as neutron detection, gamma detection, pressure, flow, liquid chemistry. The readers will also gain an understanding of the relationship of nuclear instrumentation and control with safety, as well as a dataset of theory and calculations of setpoints. Sensor and instrument calibration is also presented, along with a clear guide to how to design for harsh environments. This is a thorough reference and guide for engineers working in nuclear laboratories as engineers, designers or regulators, as well as I&C equipment manufacturers, researchers and academics of nuclear and electrical engineering disciples.
