Abstract:
A system for monitoring and displaying those operating parameters of a nuclear reactor which pertain to the core power distribution is disclosed. An incore system of detectors (24) provides power peaking data to a power peaking margin display system (16) which determines the operational limit line for the reactor core. The positions of the axial power shaping rods and the regulating rods are determined and are shown graphically by means of a cursor on a visual display (18) on which is superimposed the operational limit line determined by the power peaking margin system (16).
