Nuclear Reactor Simulator [PDF]
, 1949 Abstract : The simulator is an electrical analogue computer. The idea of solving differential equations by the use of electrical models has become a widely accepted technique. If due consideration has been given to keeping the model similar to the physical phenomena described by the differential equations, the practical engineer has at his disposal a ...

Neutron capture and the antineutrino yield from nuclear reactors [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 122503 (2016), 2015 We identify a new, flux-dependent correction to the antineutrino spectrum as produced in nuclear reactors. The abundance of certain nuclides, whose decay chains produce antineutrinos above the threshold for inverse beta decay, has a nonlinear dependence on the neutron flux, unlike the vast majority of antineutrino producing nuclides, whose decay rate ...

Nuclear waste from small modular reactors
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Small modular reactors (SMRs), proposed as the future of nuclear energy, have purported cost and safety advantages over existing gigawatt-scale light water reactors (LWRs).

Small Modular and Advanced Nuclear Reactors: A Reality Check
IEEE Access, 2021 Nuclear power has been declining in importance over the last quarter century, with its share of global electrical energy generation decreasing from 17.5 percent in 1996 to around 10 percent in 2019.
