A Co-ordinated Control Methodology for Rapid Load-Following Operation of a Pressurized Water Reactor Based Small Modular Reactor

, 2020
The Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) based Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are best suited to perform load-following operation because of their inherent self-stabilizing and self-regulating characteristics.

Computational effort comparison of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithms for the proportional–integral–derivative controller tuning of a pressurized water nuclear reactor

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2020
Power level control is important in nuclear power plants, and some dynamic parameters depend on the output power. One of the popular controllers is proportional–integral–derivative (PID), that the researchers are interested in tuning its gains.

Tribocorrosion in Pressurized Water Reactors

2013
Most 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.

Automatic Reactor Power Control for a Pressurized Water Reactor

Nuclear Technology, 1993
An automatic reactor power control system is presented for a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The associated reactor control strategy is called mode K.' The new system implements a heavy-worth bank dedicated to axial shape control, independent of the existing regulating banks.

Corrosion fatigue model of austenitic stainless steels used in pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants

, 2020
Low cycle fatigue behavior of 316LN stainless steel (SS), 304 SS and 308L weld metal was investigated in air and high-temperature pressurized water environment. The effects of mechanical factors and environmental factors on fatigue lives were considered.

Stress and Fracture Mechanics Analyses of Boiling Water Reactor and Pressurized Water Reactor Pressure Vessel Nozzles

Volume 1: Codes and Standards, 2011
This paper describes stress analysis and fracture mechanics work performed to assess boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) nozzles located in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) adjacent to the core beltline region. Various RPV nozzle geometries were investigated: 1. BWR recirculation outlet nozzle; 2.

Dynamic analysis of a pressurized water reactor

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 1976
Abstract An apparent malfunction in a pressurized water reactor system has been investigated using fluctuation analysis. Both frequency-domain and time-domain analyses have been used and the results obtained by the two methods have been compared. The recording was performed by a relatively simple, cheap system giving high recording precision and the ...
