BACKGROUND ART Acoustic methods have conventionally been used to detect vibrations of reactor internals installed in, for example, a nuclear reactor pressure vessel from outside the vessel. This detects vibrations by detecting acoustic signals generated when reactor internals rub or collide with each other due to vibrations. Acoustic noise is a problem with this method. In other words, the problem is noise caused by boiling and flowing coolant, and noise from the operation of peripheral equipment. When a nuclear reactor is operating when these noises become large, it is often difficult to detect vibrations using acoustic methods.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an acoustic detector such as an acceleration detector, piping 2, a pressure vessel 3, and an instrumentation pipe 4.
etc. will be installed. Reference numeral 5 denotes an amplifier, which amplifies the output of the acoustic detector 1. 6 is a band filter.
7 is an average frequency calculator, and 8 is a frequency analyzer. 9 is a display device for the analysis results. The acoustic detector 1 detects noise signals as well as acoustic signals generated by mutual friction and collision caused by vibrations of reactor internal structures. If the frequency components of the friction or collision sound and the noise signal are significantly different, the friction or collision, that is, vibration, can be detected by using the filter 6. However, usually
The difference in frequency components is so weak that even if the filter 6 is used, acoustic signals caused by friction or collision cannot be detected. Therefore, the average frequency of the acoustic signal is determined by an average frequency calculator 7, and this output is subjected to frequency analysis. If only noise exists, the output of the average frequency calculator 7 will fluctuate over time around a certain constant value. However, the result of frequency analysis of the output of the average frequency calculator 7 does not show any particularly noticeable peaks because the noise is irregular. On the other hand, when the noise includes an acoustic signal of friction or collision caused by vibration, the output of the average frequency calculator 7 shifts toward the average frequency of the acoustic signal of friction or collision.
The magnitude of this shift is determined by the magnitude of the noise and the magnitude of the acoustic signal, that is, the S/N ratio and the difference between the frequency components of the two. Therefore, if there is even a slight difference between the two frequency components, the S/N ratio is less than 1, that is, even an acoustic signal buried in noise can be detected.
By frequency-analyzing the output of the average frequency calculator 7, it is possible to clearly recognize the peak due to the vibration acoustic signal in the fluctuation of the average frequency of the noise. By comparing the magnitude and position of this peak with preset values, abnormal vibrations of the reactor internals can be detected.

The reference example shown in FIG. 2 includes a so-called low-pass filter 10 that passes the output of the amplifier 5 at a low frequency, and a correlation analyzer that takes the correlation between the outputs of the filter 10 and the average frequency calculator 7, in addition to the embodiment shown in FIG. 11
This is the addition and replacement of . Filter 6
may be a high-pass filter in addition to a band-pass filter. The filter 10 is used to separate vibration components from the output signal of the detector 1. The frequency band of each filter is determined in consideration of the frequency band of the acoustic detector 1, the frequency components of the detection signal, and the like. The correlation analyzer 11 calculates the average frequency of the acoustic signal (computer 7
This method uses cross spectra and correlations to correlate the vibration signal (output of the filter 10) with the vibration signal (output of the filter 10). When an acoustic signal is generated by vibration, there is a strong correlation between the vibration signal and the average frequency of the acoustic signal. Even if a vibration signal or an acoustic signal is observed separately, it is difficult to separate it from noise, but correlation analysis such as cross spectrum makes it possible to detect the occurrence of vibration and the vibration frequency.
