A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING THE AXIAL POWER DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE CORE OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR, EXTERIOR OF THE REACTOR ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for establishing the axial flux distribution of a reactor core from monitored responses obtained exterior of the reactor. The monitored responses are obtained from at least three axially spaced flux res- ponsive detectors that are positioned within proximity of the periphery of the reactor core. The detectors provide corresponding electrical outputs representative of the flux monitored. The axial height of the core is figuratively divided at a plurality of space coordinates sufficient to provide reconstruction in point representation of the rela- tive flux shape along the core axis. The relative value of flux at each of the spaced coordinates is then established from a sum of the electrical outputs of the detectors, respectively, algebraically modified by a corresponding preestablished constant.
