Zusammenfassung:A system configured to monitor structural health inside a reactor vessel of a nuclear reactor is disclosed herein. The system includes a memory configured to store historical information associated with past performance of the nuclear reactor, and an anomaly detection subsystem including control circuitry configured to receive signals from sensors. The anomaly detection subsystem is configured to determine, by the control circuit, a characteristic of a vibratory response inside the reactor vessel based at least in part on the signal; accessing history information stored in the memory through the control circuit; comparing, by the control circuit, the determined characteristic with historical information stored in a memory; and determining, by the control circuit, a condition inside the reactor vessel based at least in part on a comparison of the determined characteristic with the historical information. 本文公开了一种配置成监测核反应堆的反应堆容器内部的结构健康状况的系统。所述系统包括配置成存储与所述核反应堆的过去性能相关联的历史信息的存储器,和包括配置为接收来自传感器的信号的控制电路的异常检测子系统。所述异常检测
