This report provides key results of a 30-month experimental research and development project to identify and quantify the effects of normal aging on the performance of nuclear safety-related resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). The limit for initial accuracy of RTD elements was established and the range of their response time was determined. Seventy-two representative nuclear-grade RTDs were tested for calibration drift at simulated reactor conditions and for shelf-life drift. This included a number of naturally aged RTDs received from nuclear power plants. The authors demonstrate that periodic calibration and response time testing performed once every fuel cycle is a reasonable approach for managing the aging of nuclear grade RTDs.

Advanced Chromatic Monitoring
<p><strong>Advanced Chromatic Monitoring</strong> provides a major source of information about the novel approach of chromaticity with examples of how chromaticity may be deployed for various monitoring applications. It shows with examples what can be achieved with chromatic methods in producing relevant information with a variety of test techniques and in facilitating the interpretation of complex data about complicated situations. It will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in a wide breadth of physical disciplines (engineering, medicine, environmental sciences) and those involved with data acquisition and analysis.</p><p>Key Features: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Applicable to a wide range of disciplines (engineering, medical, environmental, etc) and those interested in science, technology, data acquisition and analysis</li> <p> </p> <li>Provides an extrapolation of new knowledge well beyond that covered in existing literature with regard to dealing with complicated forms and sets of data</li> <p> </p> <li>Addresses inspiring and innovative areas of research including environmental, power delivery and medical monitoring</li> </ul><p>About the Editors: </p><p>Emeritus Professor Gordon R.
