“…The evolution of the neutron PSD as a function of time and power level has been followed for nearly two full cycles at the SEQUOYAH-1 plant. 5 A short-term and several long-term effects have been observed.…”

“…Due to the action of the coolant flow through the core and pump induced vibrations, the core barrel, which is bolted at the top of the reactor vessel, performs a pendular motion with a natural frequency determined by the mechanical parameters and constraints of the system. 2 "" 5 In addition, external forces deform the cylindrical shape of the core barrel by inducing vibrational modes which are excited by the turbulence of the coolant flow and by the "table-shaker" effect of the core barrel motion. As a result of the various mechanical motions, the detector response will vary in a manner proportional to the importance function at the location of the disturbance.…”

“…Otro trabajo de interés es el realizado en el reactor Sequoya-1 [111], ya que comparó medidas ex-core de dos ciclos distintos e in-core a lo largo de un ciclo. Entre las observaciones a recalcar se encuentran: el aumento de la amplitud de la P SD a lo largo del ciclo y su disminución tras la recarga de combustible; la detección de un pico ancho en torno a los 8 Hz que probablemente englobe el movimiento del barrilete y el segundo modo del combustible, y por último, se manifestó la dicultad de calcular el factor de escala que traduce el ruido a vibraciones estructurales de cada elemento interno.…”

“…Durante los años siguientes siguieron muchas publicaciones donde se explicaban métodos para la mejora de la traducción del ruido a una vibración estructural y se aumentaba de esta manera la base de datos de espectros de resonancias procedentes de cada planta nuclear [111,36,112,131,17,79]. La tarea de identicación de las resonancias era y es difícil y cada planta tiene sus propias idiosincrasias.…”

“…De la referencia [124], por ejemplo, se pueden extraer valores de NRMS en los detectores externos, de 0.1 % a BOC y 0.32 % a EOC de un reactor Westinghouse de 4 lazos en su primer ciclo de operación (principios de los años 80). En otro reactor del mismo fabricante pero de 3 lazos, se han medido recientemente valores máximos en los detectores externos de 0.36 % con un CTM de -70 pcm/C típico de fin de ciclo [20].…”

Para la reproducción de los fenómenos que tienen lugar en el núcleo del reactor y que pueden influir en el ruido neutrónico se ha contado con códigos neutrónicos ampliamente utilizados en la industria y con modelos actualizados y validados de las plantas.
