The limiting conditions of operation with regard to system stability for BWRs are presently set using computer models which employ conservative assumptions regarding the mechanisms which affect stability. Development of BWR models using "best estimate" codes, such as RETRAN, may allow more exact stability limits to be determined and precise...
