Tribocorrosion in Pressurized Water Reactors
2013Most of the metallic alloys employed in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) have passivating properties that allow them to withstand relatively aggressive environmental conditions such as high temperatures, high pressure, and water-based coolants containing boric acid and lithium hydroxide.

Constrained control for a pressurized water reactor
Proceedings of the 37th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.98CH36171), 2002One of the main objective in controlling a pressurized water reactor of a nuclear power plant is to regulate the temperature of the water of the primary circuit while satisfying many constraints on both input and measured variables. We describe two approaches to deal with such constraints. The first approach is a classical 2-step design procedure where

NOISE INVESTIGATIONS IN BOILING-WATER AND PRESSURIZED-WATER REACTORS
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 1980Publisher Summary Reactor noise investigations, similarly to other scientific topics of engineering interest, can be divided into two categories: (1) the experimental and theoretical study of the phenomena, that is, the investigation of the information content of the different noise signals, and (2) the direct application of the technique aimed at ...

High Pressure Boiling Water Reactor
Nuclear Technology, 2010Some 400 boiling water reactors (BWRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs) have been in operation for several decades. The presented concept, the high pressure boiling water reactor (HP-BWR), combines the best parts and omits the troublesome components of traditional BWRs and PWRs by taking into consideration the experiences gained during their ...

The reliability of pressurized water reactor vessels
1987The mechanical integrity of major engineering structures such as pressure vessels, pipelines, nuclear reactors, aircraft and offshore oil platforms is a matter of great practical importance for both economic and safety reasons. In practice this integrity must be assured by careful attention to many aspects of design, materials, manufacture, inspection,

Power Estimation in the Pressurized Water Reactor
Nuclear Technology, 1982The operation of a pressurized water reactor requires an estimate of average core power. If there is uncertainty in the power estimate, the plant must be operated at a reduced power level to ensure that safety-related indexes are not exceeded. Thus, power estimate uncertainty results in decreased energy production.
