L'instrumentation nucléaire a deux objectifs qu'elle doit remplir simultanément : le premier est de mesurer le niveau de puissance en absolu ce qui revient à mesurer le flux neutronique global. En général, l'unité est la fraction de puissance nominale ou % PN; le deuxième est [...] la mesure de la distribution de puissance(ou de flux) en 3D à l'intérieur du réacteur. 1, record 2, French, - fraction%20de%20puissance%20nominale
