Abstract

The measurement of reactor fuel temperature by using Instrumented Fuel Element (IFE) are necessary for monitoring the safety limit of the reactor fuel during operation. This device uses a temperature sensor type K thermocouple-based (Ni-Cr/Ni) and placed at the hottest position of the reactor core (hot channel). Placement in these positions potentially causing damage that can lead to errors reading of the measurement results. Because the reactor safety limits directly related to temperature, then the thermocouple as a sensor, it needs to be calibrated periodically so that the measurement results send the correct value of the measures. In general, every value that is obtained through measurement has some uncertainty, even though a careful execution of the experiment applied. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to understand the characteristics of the measurement tools by doing a proper calibration method in order to get accurate results.
