Neutronic decoupling and coolant void reactivity in CANDU

  • 1. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Sheridan Park, ON (Canada). CANDU Operations

Description

An analytical method based on coupled reactor theory has been developed to predict coolant void reactivity holdup. The method is validated against numerical solutions with 3-D models for bare-homogeneous and heterogeneous-reflected reactors. (Author) 2 figs
