Nodal methods for calculating nuclear reactor transients, control rod patterns, and fuel pin powers

Creator:

Cho, Byung-Oh

Abstract:

Nodal methods which are used to calculate reactor transients, control rod patterns, and fuel pin powers are investigated. The 3-D nodal code, STORM, has been modified to perform these calculations. Several numerical examples lead to the following conclusions: (1) By employing a thermal leakage-to-absorption ratio11 (TLAR) approximation for the spatial...
