ABSTRACT
A survey of the purposes and classifications of reactor safety instrumentation and measurement techniques is presented. Developments in instrumentation, plant diagnostics and signal processing, and the interface between safety research and reactor regulation and licensing are also discussed. Issues facing the reactor measurements system designer are outlined and the authors provide their predictions of expected trends in this field.
