Experiment : Any operation, hardware, or target (exclud<strong>in</strong>g devices such as detectors,<br />

foils, etc.) that is designed to <strong>in</strong>vestigate non‐rout<strong>in</strong>e reactor characteristics or that is<br />

<strong>in</strong>tended for irradiation with<strong>in</strong> the pool, on or <strong>in</strong> a beam port or irradiation facility.<br />

Hardware rigidly secured to a core or shield structure so as to be a part of its design to<br />

carry out experiments is not normally considered an experiment.<br />

Movable experiment : A movable experiment is one where it is <strong>in</strong>tended that all or part of<br />

the experiment may be moved <strong>in</strong> or near the core or <strong>in</strong>to and out of the reactor while the<br />

reactor is operat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Channel : A channel is the comb<strong>in</strong>ation of sensor, l<strong>in</strong>e, amplifier, and output devices that<br />

are connected for the purpose of measur<strong>in</strong>g the value of a parameter.<br />

Channel calibration : A channel calibration is an adjustment of the channel such that its<br />

output corresponds with acceptable accuracy to known values of the parameter that the<br />

channel measures. Calibration shall encompass the entire channel, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g equipment<br />

actuation, alarm, or trip, and shall be deemed to <strong>in</strong>clude a channel test.<br />

Channel check : A channel check is a qualitative verification of acceptable performance<br />

by observation of channel behavior, or by comparison of the channel with other<br />

<strong>in</strong>dependent channels or systems measur<strong>in</strong>g the same parameter.<br />

Channel test : A channel test is the <strong>in</strong>troduction of a signal <strong>in</strong>to the channel for<br />

verification that it is operable.<br />

Measured value : The measured value is the value of a parameter as it appears on the<br />

output of a channel.<br />

Core configuration : The core configuration <strong>in</strong>cludes the number, type, or arrangement of<br />
