  • Abstract
    Commercial pressurized water reactors designed by Westinghouse NES employ neutron and temperature sensors extensively for neutron flux and temperature measurements in the reactor cores. These are for use in monitoring, control and protection of the reactor with some being located actually within the core and others external to the reactor vessel.
