Analysis of relationship between stability and flow parameters in a BWR

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6764669
Results of quantitative analysis of mutual relationship between the BWR stability and channel steam velocity are presented. The stability parameter, defined by the damping ratio, and the steam velocity are estimated by analysis of neutron noise data from local power range monitor (LPRM) detector signals. These parameters are treated as varying randomly as a function of time.
