What Does API Stand For?
API stands for Axial Power Indicator
API, or Axial Power Indicator, is a standardized measurement tool used in the nuclear industry to monitor the distribution of power within a reactor core. By providing real-time data on axial power flow, the API assists operators in ensuring optimal reactor performance, enhancing safety, and facilitating compliance with operational protocols. This critical indicator plays a vital role in the assessment and management of reactor conditions, contributing to efficient energy production and the mitigation of potential risks.
