Abstract
An exploration of flow regime characterization using measurements of the neutron fluctuations induced by a gasliquid flow passing through a nuclear reactor core has reached a developmental plateau that permits a quantitative evaluation of the method, Albrecht et al. (1982), Crowe et al. (1977). It has been demonstrated that many significant properties of the flow can be determined by analysis of the induced neutronic fluctuations. These characteristics have been categorized as propagation, structure, and dynamics of the flow, Albrecht et al. (1982c).
