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...
