Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamics and Control of Nuclear Reactors presents the latest knowledge and research in reactor dynamics, control and instrumentation; important factors in ensuring the safe and economic operation of nuclear power plants. This book provides current and future engineers with a single resource containing all relevant information, including detailed treatments on the modeling, simulation, operational features and dynamic characteristics of pressurized light-water reactors, boiling light-water reactors, pressurized heavy-water reactors and molten-salt reactors. It also provides pertinent, but less detailed information on small modular reactors, sodium fast reactors, and gas-cooled reactors. Provides case studies and examples to demonstrate learning through problem solving, including an analysis of accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi Includes MATLAB codes to enable the reader to apply the knowledge gained to their own projects and research Features examples and problems that illustrate the principles of dynamic analysis as well as the mathematical tools necessary to understand and apply the analysis Publishers Note: Table 3.1 has been revised and will be included in future printings of the book with the following data: Group Decay Constant, li (sec-1) Delayed Neutron Fraction (bi) 1 0.0124 0.000221 2 0.0305 0.001467 3 0.111 0.001313 4 0.301 0.002647 5 1.14 0.000771 6 3.01 0.000281 Total delayed neutron fraction: 0.0067

Download or read book K Calculations for 22 ZPR III Fast Reactor Assemblies Using ANL Cross section Set 635 written by W. G. Davey and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yiftah, Okrert, and Moldauer cross-section set (ANL Set 135) was modified to include new measurements of nu and alpha for U235, and to include, in an approximate manner, Hummel, Rago, and Meneghetti's corrections for flux depression at resonance energies in aluminum and stainless steel. This modified set, ANL Set 635, was used to compute values of k for 22 ZPR-III assemblies of widely varying composition. The DSN neutron transport code was used in spherical geometry and the S4 approximation; shape factors were used to convert from cylindrical to spherical geometry. Seventeen of the calculated values of k lie within plus or minus 1% of a mean value of 1.003, and the remaining 5 lie within plus or minus 2%. In terms of prediction of critical mass, it appears that the procedure used here can achieve an accuracy of 5% to 10% for a wide range of U235-fueled assemblies.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on a recommendation from the Technical Working Group on Fast Reactors, this publication is a regular update of previous publications on fast reactor technology. The publication provides comprehensive and detailed information on the technology of fast neutron reactors. The focus is on practical issues that are useful to engineers, scientists, managers, university students and professors. The main issues of discussion are experience in design, construction, operation and decommissioning, various areas of research and development, engineering, safety and national strategies, and public acceptance of fast reactors. In the summary the reader will find national strategies, international initiatives on innovative (i.e. Generation IV) systems and an assessment of public acceptance as related to fast reactors."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Book excerpt: Two spherical versions of earlier cylindrical assemblies were used for a critical study of shape effects for fast reactor cores with volumes of 300 to 400 liters. Assemblies 24 (cylindrical) and 38 (spherical) had a high-density metallic uranium blanket, whereas the set of assemblies numbered 31 (cylindrical) and 39 (spherical) had a low-density uranium-fueled core (with steel and aluminum diluents) with a high-density blanket of depleted uranium. The main features of these assemblies are summarized. Reactivity coefficients of a small number of fissile and non-fissile materials were measured in both assemblies (38 and 39). In Assembly 38 the effects of environment, etc., upon fission rates measured with absolute fission chambers were investigated. Radial fission rate traverses in different directions were made in Assembly 39 to reveal any flux asymmetry due to heterogeneity of the core; no such effect was detected.
