Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental Nuclear Reactor Analysis: Theory, Numerical Models and Experimental Analysis presents a consolidated resource on reactor analysis, comprising theoretical concepts of reactor physics, dynamics and thermal-hydraulics. Each element is applied to predict the behaviour of the TRIGA test reactor and its validation with the experimental data. Edited by Dr. Antonio Cammi and written by a team of expert contributors, this book is divided into three parts which provide the reader with a very thorough understanding of the different facets of nuclear reactor analysis. Part one presents various theoretical aspects which are required for the development of a computational model and experimental activities such as nuclear reactor physics, dynamics and control, and nuclear thermal hydraulics. The second part considers the concepts discussed in the first part, but applies them to develop computational tools for modelling the thermal-hydraulic and neutronic behaviour of reactors. The third part explores experiments designed to verify the results of computational models presented, along with a detailed description and analysis of the obtained results. This book serves as a complete guide to reactor analysis providing important theoretical background followed by a more advanced exploration and analysis of the experimental procedure and applications. Where readers do not have access to a test facility, the knowledge and practical understanding obtained from this book will ensure they are equipped with a very detailed insight and understanding of experimental reactor analysis, ready to apply to their own research and professional projects. Includes coverage of the computational models for the prediction of nuclear reactor neutronics and thermal-hydraulics Presents a description of experimental setup and procedure using TRIGA reactor and detailed analysis of obtained results and validation of computational predictions Contains exercises and applications throughout to deepen knowledge and understanding

Book excerpt: Classic textbook for an introductory course in nuclear reactor analysis that introduces the nuclear engineering student to the basic scientific principles of nuclear fission chain reactions and lays a foundation for the subsequent application of these principles to the nuclear design and analysis of reactor cores. This text introduces the student to the fundamental principles governing nuclear fission chain reactions in a manner that renders the transition to practical nuclear reactor design methods most natural. The authors stress throughout the very close interplay between the nuclear analysis of a reactor core and those nonnuclear aspects of core analysis, such as thermal-hydraulics or materials studies, which play a major role in determining a reactor design.

The benchmark analysis performed under this CRP covered steady state and transient conditions for research reactors across a range of designs, power levels, operating regimes and experimental facilities. The results obtained by the individual CRP participants are consolidated for each benchmark specification and conclusions are drawn on the specifications, modelling approaches and user effects, and computer codes used in the analysis. This publication supplements IAEA Technical Report Series No. 480, Research Reactor Benchmarking Database: Facility Specification and Experimental Data, which was developed within the same CRP. The publication is intended for use by operating organizations, researchers, regulatory bodies, designers and other interested parties involved in the safety, operation and utilization of research reactors. The individual country reports are available on the attached CD¬ROM.

Download or read book Frequency Response Testing in Nuclear Reactors written by T Kerlin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequency Response Testing in Nuclear Reactors presents the optimum testing procedures for measurements in power reactors. This eight-chapter book emphasizes the determination of the system frequency response using nonsinusoidal input perturbations, which are useful since normal power reactor hardware can be used. This text deals first with the mathematical aspects of frequency response testing, with a particular emphasis on numerical Fourier transformations using analog or digital equipment. The subsequent chapters examine the important signals for use in frequency responses tests and the analysis of these signals using analog and digital computing equipment. The discussion then shifts to the frequency response functions that describe nuclear reactor dynamics. This topic is followed by a presentation of techniques for extracting useful information from test results. A chapter highlights the most common control-rod drive mechanisms to assess their suitability for dynamics testing. The concluding chapter provides a brief summary of significant experiences with dynamics tests in nuclear reactors. Scientists, researchers, and workers in the field of nuclear reactors and related subjects will find this book invaluable.
