Abstract
Direct power shape monitoring in parallel with precision power monitoring is effected by use of gamma sensors in the fuel core and signal processing that includes compensation for slow signal response and takes advantage of a substantially direct relationship of sensor signal to linear power generation rate. Continous readout from the direct power shape monitor is available during readout interruptions in the precision monitor.
