Description
The issue of BWR stability has deserved special attention in the last years, since the instability events reported from several reactors. Different approaches are followed in plants to avoid potential unstable conditions and to detect and suppress core power oscillations. Fuel behavior during power oscillations shows that its integrity would be endangered only in the case of extremely high oscillation amplitudes. The characteristics of new fuel designs that can affect to stability are reviewed, as well as the actual trends in the technology related to this subject
