Operators use in-core instrumentation to maintain reactor performance by providing real-time data on the neutron flux distribution within the reactor core. This information allows them to monitor and adjust the reactor's operating parameters to achieve optimal power distribution, fuel efficiency, and safety margins. In-core instrumentation typically consists of neutron detectors strategically located throughout the core. These detectors measure the neutron flux at various locations, providing a three-dimensional map of the power distribution. Operato....
