Computational investigations of the dynamical characteristics of the core of a periodic pulse reactor in a system with cascade neutron multiplication
The core dynamics of a fast reactor in a cascade reactor system operating in a periodic-pulse regime are examined. A model of a BN-600 fuel element is used as a computational model. Computational studies of the neutron kinetics processes in a fast rector-subcritical assembly system and the thermal d...

Summary: | The core dynamics of a fast reactor in a cascade reactor system operating in a periodic-pulse regime are examined. A model of a BN-600 fuel element is used as a computational model. Computational studies of the neutron kinetics processes in a fast rector-subcritical assembly system and the thermal dynamics of a fuel element in the core of a periodic-pulse reactor are performed. Estimates are made of the service life of a fuel element operating in a regime with repeating pulses and a number of heat loads that is admissible from the standpoint of the fatigue strength of the element.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
