THE IMPACT OF POWER COEFFICIENT OF REACTIVITY ON CANDU 6 REACTORS

The combined effects of reactivity coefficients, along with other core nuclear characteristics, determine reactor core behavior in normal operation and accident conditions. The Power Coefficient of Reactivity (PCR) is an aggregate indicator representing the change in reactor core reactivity per unit...
