The Simulation and Study of Conditions Leading to Axial Offset Anomaly in Pressurized Water Reactors
Axial offset anomaly (AOA) in pressurized water reactors (PWR) refers to deviation of the measured neutron flux in the top half of the core from the predicted values. Among other difficulties, AOA reduces the shutdown margin, and may force the plant to reduce power output. AOA is believed to be ca...
