2. Measurement chains associated with detectors
2.1 Metering and measurement of weak currents
This type of measurement is widely used in nuclear power reactor instrumentation, nuclear material control and radiation protection.
Reactor and plant measurements are described in detail elsewhere in this treatise. However, a few general points and a brief description of these measurements are given below, to illustrate the general principles which are the subject of this article.
