AN IMPROVED RADAR-BASED LEVEL GAUGING SYSTEM FOR MARINE NUCLEAR-POWERED PLANT

Abstract

In consideration of disturbing factors in the marine nuclear-powered plant, such as permittivity change, density difference and tilting and swaying angles of ship, this paper presents an improved guided wave radar level gauging system. With respect to the physical constraints of nuclear-powered plant, such as spatial limitations, radiation and electromagnetic protections, an overall engineering scheme is proposed, including the physical structure, hardware components and software configurations.
