NEUTRON NOISE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF SIMULATED MECHANICAL AND THERMAL-HYDRAULIC PERTURBATIONS IN A PWR CORE

KWU-PWR reactors (SIEMENS design) are commonly exhibiting high neutron noise levels that can lead to costly operational issues. Recent analysis seems to indicate that, coolant flow, temperature oscillations, and mechanical vibrations have a key impact on neutron noise phenomena. In order to advance...
