  • Patent number: 5099127
    Abstract: A portable intensitometer including a radioactive radiation detector, an operation processing device for digitally processing the output signal of the radioactive radiation detector, and a device which produces a processed result of the operation processing device, wherein the improvement further includes a device for storing the data of exposure history and exposure control values of an individual person, and an interface which is connected to the storage device and to said operation processing device to input or output the data relative to an external equipment. The operation processing device carries out exposure control calculation for an individual person relying upon the output signals from the radioactive radiation detector and upon the read signals from the storage device. Therefore, the daily control, weekly control and monthly control are carried out in real time for each of the individual persons, to realize perfect exposure control for the individual persons.

  • Patent number: 4533514
    Abstract: Control rods are inserted into the core of a nuclear reactor in operation to shut down the reactor output. Before completion of entire control rod insertion, a high-temperature coolant flowing in piping for a reactor water clean-up system is sprayed into the space in the upper portion of the reactor vessel. As the space is under negative pressure, oxygen existing in the water droplets of the sprayed coolant is separated. After completion of entire control rod insertion, a residual heat removal system is operated. The spraying operation is discontinued and a low-temperature coolant cooled by a heat exchanger in the residual heat removal system is sprayed into said space. The coolant sprayed by said first spraying operation is not cooled by the heat exchanger in said residual heat removal system.
