Effects of rod worth and drop speed on the BWR off-center rod drop accident

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6050293
;
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of increasing the control rod worth and the rod drop speed on the off-center RDA. An increase in either of these parameters results in an increase in peak core power and fuel enthalpy, and the objective of this study is to determine the margin to the fuel damage threshold.
