Abstract :
A filtering technique of neutron flux during the nuclear reactor restarting is presented in this paper. The nuclear reactor model is described by equation of inverse kinetics. The ionization chambers are used for neutron flux measure. To minimize the undesired noise of measurement the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method is used. The filter EKF is designed using the nuclear reactor model.
