Abstract: A study of transverse buckling effect on the characteristics of nuclides burnup wave in multiplying media (cylindrical geometry) has been carried out. The burnup wave is characterized in terms of velocity of propagation, ...

Abstract: This work focuses on the safety analysis of a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) for reactivity-initiated transients. These transients result from withdrawal of six sets of groups of control rods that may occur under ...

Abstract: The use of approximate boundary conditions at the opening of the cavities leads to restriction of the computational domain and, hence, the reduction in computational effort. However, the accuracy of the restricted domain ...
