Neutrino method remote measurement of reactor power and power output

The neutrino method is essentially a remote method and does not require contact with the elements of the reactor. The accuracy and reproducibility of the neutrino procedure in measurements of the power and power output of the VVER-540 reactor are close to the data obtained with thermal measurements. For other types of reactors the neutrino method can be more accurate than the traditional methods. The neutrino method makes it possible to monitor plutonium production directly during the plutonium production process. It is possible to develop a method of neutrino tomography for monitoring the spatial nonuniformity of energy release in the fuel core of the reactor as well as methods for monitoring in the case of accidents.
