Impact of nonabsorbing control rod tips on kinetics feedback for BWR turbine trip without bypass RETRAN-03 analyses

  • 1. Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park (United States)

Description

RETRAN-03 studies were performed for the boiling water reactor (BWR) turbine trip without bypass (TTWOB) event to investigate how the non-neutron-absorbing material on control rod tips affect scram delay timing and reactivity feedback. Scram delay, Doppler temperature, and moderator void (density) feedback were varied to assess their relative impact on kinetics behavior. Although a generic point-kinetics RETRAN-03 TTWOB model 2 was employed, actual plant information was used to develop the basic and parametric cases
