Abstract

In a nuclear reactor flux mapping system consisting of two operationally independent electronic subsystems for controlling the positioning of separate groups of in-core detectors within core thimbles, a communications link is provided between the two subsystems to enable one subsystem and its associated group of detectors to assume the flux mapping responsibility of the other subsystem in the event of a subsystem malfunction.
