In France, two projects focussed thinking on possible I/C [instrumentation and control] revamping of units prior to N4: The project baptised R2C and centering on the second ten-year inspection programs (VD2) of the 900 MW ... involves the steam generator level control ... and the flux measurement and nuclear protection system (RPN system), which inaugurated Schneider-Electric's new product line SPINLINE 3. 1, record 1, English, - RPN%20system

[...] un système interne, mesurant le flux neutronique à l'intérieur du cœur, et un système externe placé à l'extérieur de la cuve coexistent. La terminologie habituellement retenue pour nommer les systèmes à partir de trigrammes utilise l'appellation RIC(réacteur instrumentation cœur) pour le premier et RPN(réacteur protection nucléaire) pour le second. [...] Le système RPN mesure le niveau absolu de puissance et la distribution relative de puissance en temps réel. La mesure du niveau de puissance est ajustée sur une mesure faite par bilan enthalpique au secondaire. Un ajustement périodique(calibrage) est nécessaire car la proportionnalité entre la mesure externe et le niveau de puissance réel du réacteur dépend de la composante(x, y) de la distribution de puissance qui, on l'a vu, varie avec l'épuisement du combustible. 3, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20RPN

Le système Smart est basé sur une modélisation 3D de type nodal avancé, à deux groupes d’énergie. Il met en œuvre la méthode d’expansion nodale utilisant des coefficients de discontinuité intranodaux et des formes intranodales polynomiales pour les fuites transverses, les sections efficaces, etc. Ce système est complété par une modélisation 1D axial. Le modèle de contre-réactions de Smart qui intègre un calcul de thermohydraulique canal fermé est basé sur une tabulation multiparamétrée des sections efficaces. Les paramètres utilisés sont l'épuisement du combustible, la concentration en bore, le niveau xénon, la densité de l'eau, la température combustible, la présence de grappes de contrôle ainsi qu'un paramètre représentatif de l'histoire spectrale du combustible. L'évolution du combustible est calculée avec un modèle d’épuisement microscopique. La chaîne d’évolution comprend, pour une utilisation standard, 36 noyaux lourds et produits de fission. 1, record 2, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9puisement%20microscopique
