  • Nuclear reactor coolant level monitoring system
    Patent number: 5533074
    Abstract: A system for determining the level of coolant in a depressurized nuclear reactor comprises a first set of pressure transducers located in the coolant piping and a second set of pressure tranducers located at the top or near the top of the pressurizer. Electrical signals from these independent transducers are fed by cable to a controller with a microprocessor in the reactor control room where the coolant level is calculated and displayed. Compensations for signal error, coolant temperature and coolant chemistry are provided.
