Patent number: 9442203Abstract: A neutron monitoring system for a nuclear reactor can correct measured neutron flux by taking into consideration neutron moderation based on whether a neutron detector is fully immersed in coolant water or exposed above the water level. The neutron detector and a water detection sensor are mounted at the same height in the nuclear reactor. The water detection sensor includes a thermocouple and a heating element positioned to heat the thermocouple. A temperature measuring component is connected to the thermocouple. A water existence determining component can determine, based on temperature measured by the temperature measuring component, whether the water detection sensor (and thus the neutron detector) is underwater.
