SMORN VI
Symposium on Nuclear Reactor Surveillance and Diagnostics
This symposium is a follow-up to SMORN V (held in Munich in 1987) but with
an extended scope focusing on the development and application of surveillance
and diagnostic techniques to nuclear power plants for the purpose of assuring
the operational readiness of components and systems important to plant safety
and economic operation. The papers presented in these two volumes deal with
the following topics: operational experience with surveillance and diagnostic
systems; BWR stability monitoring; leak and boiling detection in fast reactors;
modelling and monitoring the motion of PWR and BWR structures; advances
in signal processing methods; parameter estimation techniques; application
of neural networks and pattern recognition; sensor monitoring and signal
validation methods; and advances in machinery diagnostics and loose-part
monitoring.
