Computer programs for describing the dynamic behavior of EBR-II
Kinetic studies are performed at EBR-II to ensure that the dynamic characteristics of the reactor indicate integrity of the system and surrounding environment. These studies are done by analysis of power perturbations caused by a drop rod and a rod oscillator. The power perturbation following a rod drop is first analyzed by inverse-kinetics procedures to obtain a time-dependent reactivity. This reactivity is further fitted to a feedback transfer fanction characteristic of linear differential equations. The power perturbation caused by the oscillator is Fourier-analyzed to obtain a series of Fourier coefficients representing the reactor transfer function directly. The feedback transfer function is then obtained from this and the zero-power transfer function. 11 references. (auth)
