Sacchi Comisio´n Nacional de Energı´a Ato´mica, Aenida del Libertador 8250, 1429 Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 24 April 1997; received in revised form 9 June 1997; accepted 5 December 1997 Abstract Keeping nuclear plant components in prime operating condition is essential for overall plant safety and availability. One way to assess the good operating condition of nuclear components is an on-line monitoring system. A vibration monitoring system is intended to monitor a component or system to ensure that changes in the mechanical integrity are detected early, even during operation. This paper describes the experience gained during the development of a vibration monitoring system for the Atucha-I Nuclear Power Plant reactor vessel that started up in 1990. High sensitivity velocity sensors were mounted on the closure head of the reactor vessel to monitor the vibrations. Some of the results obtained for different reactor operating conditions are presented in the form of frequency spectra or RMS values for different frequency bands. A description of the system, its evolution and future improvements are also included. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved. 1.
