Coarse mesh techniques for multidimensional core analysis

  • 1. Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, NY

Description

Three-dimensional coarse mesh nodal methods are developed using response matrix techniques. The methods are used in conjunction with first principle methods to compute Light Water Reactor (LWR) nodal powers. The methods are then successfully applied to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) benchmark problem which include a number of realistic effects encountered in actual LWR problems
