	Method and apparatus for preventing inadvertent criticality in a nuclear fueled electric powering generating unit ...
		An inadvertent approach to criticality in a nuclear fueled electric power generating unit is detected and an alarm is generated through on-line monitoring of the neutron flux.
		At the end of each incremental time period, the microcomputer compares the latest average flux count rate signal with the oldest, and preferably each of the intervening stored values, and if it exceeds any of them by at least a preselected multiplication factor, an alarm is generated.
		As applied to a pressurized water reactor system, boron dilution events are detected in time that the chemical and volume control system can be isolated and the valves for the refueling water storage tank can be opened to inject highly borated water into the reactor coolant system to keep the reactor subcritical.
