AbstractAbstract
[en] The fast-neutron hodoscope at the Transient Reactor Test Facility detects fuel motion in thick opaque capsules during in-core destructive transient tests. Counts from several hundred detectors, each with rates up to a megahertz, are collected at intervals as short as a millisecond for up to tens of seconds. The large amount of data must be decoded, normalized, represented in suitable forms, and analyzed. A computer-controlled magnet disk data acquisition system has been installed which provides shorter data collection intervals, simplifies decoding, and permits immediate data analysis. Data normalizations and representations have been developed which significantly increase the dynamic range, yield sensitive quantitative indications of fuel mass motion, and render the data intuitively comprehensible. The improved hodoscope system performance level is demonstrated by results from a recent transient test, Pinex-2, which show the quantitative evolution of fuel mass motion from 1515 MW peak reactor power through a 1 MW post-scram radiation level
