Abstract :
The possibilities of increase the use of digital technics in reactor control instrumentation lead to several studies which are described. They concern chiefly prototypes of linear ratemeter, digital periodmeter with automatic change of response time. The measurement of neutron flux with a good accuracy over a ten decades range with one or two detectors. The use of digital technics even for the measurement of D. C. current given by neutron detectors is also analyzed.
