Abstract
A reactor cavity dosimetry system and method in a nuclear power plant having a reactor vessel and a primary biological shield substantially surrounding the reactor vessel thereby forming a reactor cavity between the vessel and the shield, the system and method providing for remotely and repeatedly positioning a plurality of neutron dosimeters at preselected locations within the cavity, and for withdrawing the dosimeters for analysis thereof and replacing them at the same preselected positions. Assessment of the long-term effects of neutron irradiation on the vessel is enhanced by accurate and repetitive placement of the dosimeters.
