Patent Number: 
Section: abstract

A core monitoring system including: a TIP measuring a neutron amount in a nuclear reactor; a TIP drive device; a TIP panel; a neutron monitoring panel; and a process computer. The TIP panel includes: a TIP level processor and a TIP position processor that process a TIP level signal and a TIP position signal input from the TIP drive device, respectively; a time setting section synchronizing the TIP level signal and the TIP position signal; and a TIP level data storage section storing synchronized TIP level data. The neutron monitoring panel includes a time setting section setting collecting time of a LPRM level signal and an APRM level signal. The process computer compares the time and stores the TIP level data from the TIP panel and the LPRM and APRM level signals from the neutron monitoring panel corresponding in time, and calculates core performance based on the TIP level data.
