A POWER CALIBRATION METHOD USING THE XENON POISONING
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4279252
A method of power calibration using the reactivity variation due to xenon poisoning is developed. Two cases are considered: reactivity variation after reacting the xenon equillbrium poisoning; time variation of reactiviyy due to the non-equilibrium xenon poisoning. Both methods are applicable in the high flux region. In the second method some care must be taken in order to avoid the influence of the temperature reactivity variation. The application of the second method to the power calibration of the IEA R-1 reactor in the Mw region is considered, and the results are compared with the temperature differential and flux plot method.
