Noise diagnostics for safety assessment. Quarterly progress report, July--September 1977. [BWR; PWR]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5197767
The development of advanced calculational methods for understanding and quantifying commonly encountered neutron noise sources (e.g., coolant boiling and vibrations of fuel, control rods, and other reactor internals) in LWRs is proceeding on schedule, with completion of the initial noise-equivalent source formulation and generation of a working cross section library being the major accomplishments this quarter. A work plan for investigating experimentally the propagation of acoustic disturbances in complex, massive, metallic structures is being formulated and a portion of the instrumentation and apparatus necessary to pursue this loose-parts-oriented work was obtained, but a full experimental program is not yet underway, owing to delays in obtaining certain key equipment.
