Download or read book Reactor Core Monitoring written by Mihály Makai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of the computerized core monitoring techniques currently employed at pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear power plants. It also offers a brief overview of the corresponding techniques at research and materials testing reactors. The book combines detailed descriptions of the theoretical background and fundamental underlying principles as well as the practical applications of core surveillance. It not only provides numerous industrial examples to illustrate how complex computerized systems are able to support the safe operation of nuclear reactors, but also outlines some new application areas that were made possible only by state-of-the-art computing resources. Thanks to its practical approach, it serves as a valuable and practical reference book for readers interested in the surveillance of nuclear reactors, ranging from undergraduate and postgraduate students to researchers and experts working at research reactors and nuclear power plants, as well as at nuclear regulatory authorities.

Book excerpt: A direct means of monitoring and indicating the neutron flux in a reactor core is required to maintain neutron-flux equilibrium and to eliminate hot spots, flux peaking and flux oscillations. This report presents operating specification for an in-core flux monitor. The specifications are based upon the recognized requirements and operating characteristics for Hanford reactors and are presents as the criteria for development, application, and evaluation of prototype in-core flux monitor systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant proportion of the UK energy needs are currently serviced by a fleet of ageing nuclear reactors. Ensuring that these reactors are operated safely is the highest priority and the structural health of their cores, that provide channels for control rods and coolant gas, is a key aspect. This thesis focuses on the application of structuralhealth monitoring to the graphite reactor cores used in the UK and presents a specification for the use of structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques already es- tablished in bridge and aircraft monitoring, with data obtained through existing reactor monitoring processes. This approach utilises statistical and clustering techniques on monitoring data that can be acquired during online operation of the plant. The use of existing monitoring processes to complement the established inspection regime for nuclear reactors is a novel contribution from this work. As part of proving the SHM approach, this thesis reports on work undertaken to identify suitable data and numerical limits for the cluster analysis. This analysis considers the data with respect to the stated aim of detectin~ core distortion and demonstrates that the chosen data and values are acceptable and conservative in the context of reactor condition monitoring. An assessment of the SHM solution is presented describing the im- plementation of the SHM approach using a multi-agent system (MAS), IMAPS. This implementation required consideration of using MAS tech- nology for condition monitoring, and the novel contribution of a technique for storing and retrieving historical data in a manner concomitant with both MAS and relational database theory is presented.ij The thesis concludes that condition monitoring is feasible on the graphite cores, and that multi-variate analysis through SHM implemented within a MAS offers a storage and analysis platform that can both handle the data volumes and accommodate further extensions as required.

Download or read book Design of the Reactor Core for Nuclear Power Plants written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactor core is the central part of a nuclear reactor where nuclear fission occurs. It consists of four basic systems and components: the fuel (including fuel rods and the fuel assembly structure), the coolant, the moderator and the control rods, as well as additional structures such as reactor pressure vessel internals, core support plates, and the lower and upper internal structure in light water reactors. This Safety Guide provides recommendations on meeting the safety requirements established in IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-2/1 (Rev. 1), Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design, applied to the design of the reactor core for nuclear power plants. The publication addresses the safety aspects of the core design and includes neutronic, thermohydraulic, thermomechanical and structural mechanical aspects. Other aspects considered are those relating to reactor core control, shutdown and monitoring, and core management.
