Reuter-Stokes isa world leader in fission chamber design and manufactureincluding miniaturized fission chambers in our movable in-core (MIC) sensors, used in Pressurized water reactors (PWR). Withover 50 years of design experience, and thousands of fission chambers installed, we have a unique track record of excellent operational performance in some of the harshest environments.
Our fission chambers measure neutron flux in various flux ranges to help manage, control, and protect the nuclear reactor. We offer fission chambers inboth guarded and un-guarded styles。The guarded fission chambers are particularly well suited to applications where low signal and anticipated operational environments demand the highest level of immunity against electromagnetic interference.
To enable the critical signal of the fission chamber to arrive to the control room, we canutilize safety-related mineral-insulated signal transmission cables (coaxial and tri-axial), as well as safety-related electrical connectors。Both cables and connectors are designed and manufactured to provide high levels of electrical isolation under the demanding environmental conditions present in containment. Fission chambers designed for critical applications must have the highest level of reliability.
With hundreds of instruments installed in the field, reliability for us is more than just a claim, it is a proven capability.

Reuter-Stokes, with more than 50 years of experience, isone of the world’s leaders in miniaturized fission chambers。The Reuter-Stokes MIC (movable in-core) sensor, used in pressurized water reactors (PWR), maps the thermal neutron flux in the water gap between adjacent fuel bundles and iscompatible with existing installed systems.
The precisely matched, machined, and bonded components of the Reuter-Stokes MICincreases reliability by minimizing the possibility of detector failure resulting from insertion and removal。这意味着当你娘家姓的精确的辐射读数d them, every time. Reuter-Stokes MIC detectors are compatible with all equipment vendors andcan perform as direct replacements for current movable in-core probes.
Theunique uranium coated miniature fission chamber and mineral insulated cable technology of the MICenables detection of the core thermal neutron radiation levels by traversing the active fuel region and producing a direct current that is proportional to the neutron flux in the water gap.
The accurate signal of the MIC, enabled by the ceramic to metal seal that isolates the detector and cable assembly,eliminates variation at temperature from gas expansionand provides a signal that is precise and repeatable over hundreds of flux scans. This allows greater confidence in the neutron monitoring system operation.
Superior insulation resistance at temperature in the Reuter-Stokes MIC probesaids in exact flux measurementby minimizing leakage currents. This proven design permits usage of the detector over a wide range of temperatures,decreasing the need for frequent replacements。The long detector lifetime contributes to increased operation efficiency and decreased maintenance costs.
Reuter-Stokes is dedicated to continuous improvement in the performance of our products. By utilizing Six Sigma quality development and efficient, short-cycle production,we are able to meet customer needs quickly and to provide MIC probes in an industry-leading order-to-delivery time.
Reuter-Stokes has also invested in plant and equipment to remain at the forefront of technology. Enhanced uranium plating, state of the art cleanroom assembly, and testing processes employed in the manufacture of the Reuter-Stokes MIC probesensures the high level of quality our customers have come to expect.
