Description/Abstract:
EQUATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE REACTOR POWER AND FUEL ELEMENT CORE AND SURFACE TEMPERATURE AS A FUNCTION OF TIME AND FOR ESTIMATING THE REACTIVITY EFFECT OF INCREASING FUEL ELEMENT AND MODERATOR TEMPS, STEAM FORMATION AT THE FUEL ELEMENT SURFACE AND RADIOLYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF THE MODERATOR. THE EQUATIONS ARE USED TO SIMULATE THE CONDITIONS OF A REACTOR EXCURSION
