A comparison of theoretical decay heat calculations and experimental data

Creator:

Bjerke, Michael Alan

Abstract:

The experimental measurements of the decay heat from the products of the thermal fission of U-235 have been compared with the OSU-proposed decay heat standard. These experiments are intended to verify the decay heat calculational methods and nuclear data files. The comparisons have included the previous experiments reviewed by Perry...

Masters Thesis
A simplification of existing methods of calculating decay heat following reactor shut-down and an investigation of the effects of power history upon decay heat

Creator:

Holm, Jerald Steven

Abstract:

A method of calculating decay heat is presented which is a simplification of existing calculational methods, the summation method in particular. The method involves the assumption that one physical process, neutron capture, is negligible in order to simplify the governing physical equations. A Greens function is derived and the decay...

Masters Thesis
An analysis of the infinite periodic lattice approximation used in unit cell calculations

Creator:

Thomas, Mark Stephen

Abstract:

Unit cell or pin cell calculations form the basis for most nuclear core modeling. Because of this, it is of primary importance to perform these unit cell calculations accurately. The subject of this thesis is the analysis of one of the major approximations made in unit cell modeling, the infinite...

An experiment for accurate determination of time-dependent fission product energy release after thermal neutron fission of ²³⁵U

Masters Thesis
Summation evaluations of reactor after-heat including the effect of neutron capture in fission products

Creator:

Shay, Michael Ronald

Abstract:

The magnitude of the effect on decay heat of neutron capture by fission products for hypothesized "worst case" irradiations was examined. This effect is shown to be small (less than 2 percent) for times less than 1,000 seconds and a simple model is presented for estimating the magnitude of the...
