Abstract
A self-powered in-core detector arrangement for measuring flux in a nuclear reactor core includes a first in-core detector and a second in-core detector. The first in-core detector includes a first flux detecting material, a first lead wire extending longitudinally from a first axial end of the first flux detecting material, a first insulating material surrounding outer diameters of the first flux detecting material and the first lead wire and a first sheath surrounding the first insulating material. The first sheath includes a first section surrounding the first flux detecting material and a second section surrounding the first lead wire. The first section of the first sheath has a greater outer diameter than the second section of the first sheath. The second in-core detector includes a second flux detecting material, a second lead wire extending longitudinally from a first axial end of the second flux detecting material, a second insulating material surrounding outer diameters of the second flux detecting material and the second lead wire, and a second sheath surrounding the second insulating material. The second sheath includes a first section surrounding the second flux detecting material and a second section surrounding the second lead wire. The first section of the second sheath has a greater outer diameter than the second section of the second sheath. The first section of the first sheath is axially offset from the first section of the second sheath and radially aligned with the second section of second sheath.
