Abstract

1476939 Controlling nuclear reactors COMBUSTION ENG Inc 17 May 1974 [22 May 1973] 22157/74 Heading G6C The description relates to controlling the operation of a nuclear power generating system and is substantially the same as that of Specification 1,476,937 the claims relating to predicting the violation of a design limit, preventing the violation of the design limit, and calculating an operating limit for the system with a built in margin sufficient to allow time for the prediction and prevention to be effective.
