The proposed CRP will involve on-line monitoring of instrument output signals and assessing instrument calibration, to change from time based instrument calibrations to condition based calibrations
To encourage cooperation and foster exchange of information in the area of condition based instrument calibration instead of time based calibration
To develop methods, tools (computer programs) and licensing proposals for implementing a condition based calibrations program for research reactors
It is expected that the results of this CRP will lead to more widespread use of On Line Monitoring (OLM) in research reactor facilities.
This CRP directly supports the overall objectives of the Project 1.4.2.4 (Research Reactors operation and maintenance) and Project 1.4.2.1 (Enhancement of utilization and applications of Research Reactors), by collecting and sharing relevant information; as well as Project 3.2.5.1 (Enhancing the safety of research reactors), through promotion of the use of the research results in safety analysis.
