摘要:
In the method for reactor simulation, a user modifies one or more design inputs used in creating a response surface. The response surface defines relationships between the design inputs and operational outputs of at least one or more aspects of a core design. A reactor simulation is then generated based on the response surface for the core design and the modified design input.

A method of calibrating excore detectors for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) includes: measuring peripheral core flux signals using excore detectors disposed at a plurality of locations spaced about the periphery of the core, and using the measured power distribution from either a core monitoring system or in-core flux measurement. Calibration of the excore detectors is broken into two parts: (1) the relation between the excore detector signal and weighted peripheral assembly axial offset, and (2) the relation between weighted peripheral assembly axial offset and core average axial offset. Relation (2) can be determined by a representative neutronics model. Accuracy of the neutronics solution is improved by applying nodal calibration factors, which represent the ratio of the measured three-dimensional power distribution to the nodal predicted three-dimensional power distribution and correct the neutronic results to match what would be measured if predictive scenarios were actually performed in the actual reactor core.

A boiling water reactor includes a reactor pressure vessel; a steam pipe for transporting steam generated in the reactor pressure vessel out from a steam dome positioned at an upper part of the reactor pressure vessel; a high pressure turbine connected to the steam pipe and driven by the steam; a feedwater heater which heats feedwater supplied to the reactor pressure vessel using bleed steam flowing from the high pressure turbine to the feedwater heater; a bleeding valve which adjusts a flow rate of the bleed steam; and a pressure sensor provided in a main steam line including the steam dome and the steam pipe. The boiling water reactor further includes a monitor and control system which controls an opening degree of the bleeding valve based on a magnitude of fluctuating pressure in the main steam line that is detected by the pressure sensor.

Example embodiments relate to methods of controlling hydrogen concentrations in an offgas system of a nuclear reactor by passive air injection. A method according to a non-limiting embodiment may include passively injecting ambient air through the hydrogen water chemistry system into an existing offgas line of the offgas system. The offgas line is configured to transport non-condensable gases, including hydrogen, from a condenser to a recombiner. As a result of the passive air injection, the combined flow of hydrogen and oxygen react in the recombiner to form water vapor, thereby reducing the hydrogen concentration of the offgas exiting the recombiner.
