Abstract

See full text

A nuclear reactor vibration surveillance system has a first ultrasonic transducer for transmission, an ultrasonic transmitter, a second ultrasonic transducer for reception, an ultrasonic receiver, a signal processor, and a display unit. The first ultrasonic transducer for transmission is arranged on the outer surface of a reactor pressure vessel and is configured to convert a transmission signal into an ultrasonic pulse signal and allow the ultrasonic pulse to be transmitted to a reactor internal component. The second ultrasonic transducer for reception is arranged on the outer surface of the reactor pressure vessel and is configured to receive a reflected ultrasonic pulse reflected by the reactor internal component and convert the received reflected ultrasonic pulse into a reception signal.
