Abstract

We use Monte Carlo method to analyze the unreliability performance on the neutron detector system in nuclear reactor. We make the simulation models of three exterior reactor neutron detection channels including source range, middle range and power range measurement channels, and the corresponding three unreliability degrees are calculated. The calculation results show that the unreliability degree of source range and the middle range measurement channel is about in the magnitude of 10-6 because of their two levels redundancy, and due to four levels redundancy in the power range measurement channels, which unavailability is in magnitude of 10-12, it has higher safety level than the source and middle range measurement channels.
