RADIATION MONITORING

The radiation monitoring system of the SAVANNAH keeps a constant check on the intensity of radiation at various points within the reactor system as well as areas remote from the power plant. This system is divided into two areas for this description. They are power-plant monitoring and health physics monitoring. The latter is covered under its own heading.
