System and method for xenon acceleration in training simulator for nuclear power plant
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7188714
Described is a method and system for the real-time dynamic simulation of a nuclear power plant that includes a control and monitoring console for operating the reactor and monitoring three dimensional physical values, such as nuclear flux, power and temperature throughout the core. A digital computer is connected to the console to calculate the physical values in real-time, with such calculations including the effect of xenon on the output and distribution of the power in the core. The method and system also provides for accelerating the xenon effect to provide for accurate simulation in real-time without the necessity of operating the simulator continuously through the preselected time span.
