[EN] Determination of the reactor kinetic characteristics is very important for the design and development of a new reactor system.
In this sense, the computation of lambda modes associated to a nuclear power reactor has ...
[EN] The mechanical vibrations of core internals such as fuel assemblies (FAs) cause oscillations in the neutron flux that require in some circumstances nuclear power plants to operate at a reduced power level. This work ...
[EN] Different spatial modes can be defined for the neutron diffusion equation such as the k; a and c-modes.
These modes have been successfully used for the analysis of nuclear reactor characteristics. In this work,
these ...
[EN] Nowadays, non-invasive detection of anomalies in nuclear power plants is possible through neutron
noise monitoring. The early detection of such anomalies gives the possibility to take proper actions
before they lead ...
[EN] The time-dependent neutron diffusion equation approximates the neutronic power evolution inside a nuclear reactor core. Applying a Galerkin finite element method for the spatial discretization of these equations leads ...
[EN] The steady-state simplified spherical harmonics equations (SPNequations) are a higher order approximation to the neutron transport equations than the neutron diffusion equation that also have reasonable computational ...
