Abstract :
In a nuclear power plant, the available power is proportional to the emitted neutron flux. Marine is a new digital wide range neutron monitoring system which delivers both neutron flux and reactor period information. It covers the whole measurement range from source to power regimes with only one sensor, and outperforms the existing instrumentation in terms of accuracy and response time
