Xenon oscillations with special reference to the PIUS reactor

  • 1. Risoe National Lab., Roskilde (Denmark). Nuclear Safety Research Dept.

Description

The PIUS reactor (Process Inherent Ultimate Safety, an advanced reactor design by ABB Sweden) is a pressurized water reactor without any movable rods. Thus, no means exists to counteract spatial Xe-oscillations if any. Calculations have been performed, which show that PIUS reactor is stable against Xe-oscillations in its proposed size (2000 MWt h), but also that the size cannot be increased significantly without the occurrence of power oscillations.
