Safety and Behavior of Nuclear Reactors After Shutdown

Creators

  • 1. Reactor dep., Nuclear Research Center, Atomic Energy Authority, Cairo (Egypt) NRC

Description

the performance of the nuclear reactors after shutdown is studied. The decay power and xenon poisoning buildup are calculated using a developed mathematical models. Xenon buildup after reactor shutdown is evaluated and discussed from the safety point of view. The calculations are applied for a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) and for the Egyptian research reactor (ETRR-1). The calculated results for ETRR-1 are compared with the available experimental data
