Modeling of Control System of Tajoura Reactor Using Apros

This paper is a part of a project that simulated, using the Apros (Advanced Process Simulator) software, the Tajoura research reactor (TRR). This part of the project aimed at the modeling of the control systems of the reactor, where important control parameters, as detailed in the following section, had been studied and simulated by Apros: These parameters are tested for various values, and it was made sure the reactor is responding properly to the change of different conditions. In particular, the reactor scrams automatically whenever a scram condition is reached via any of the above parameters. In addition, it is possible to manually scram the reactor when needed, as is the case in the simulated reactor. In the end of the paper, we give many plots derived from Apros, that illustrate the work of the system and the response to different parameter changes. (author)
