A review of reactivity transients and reactivity initiated accidents in Indian power reactors

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India)

Description

This paper gives a review of the analytical work done pertaining to reactivity transients and reactivity initiated accidents in Indian Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRS). For BWR the accidents considered are the rod drop, continuous rod withdrawal and cold water addition. For PHWRS the accidents evaluated are loss of regulation and loss of coolant accident. Failure of reactor protection is also considered to assess the consequences. (author). 8 refs, tabs
