Determining the moderator temperature coefficient in a PWR by stochastic fluctuation analysis
An on-line, passive method for monitoring the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) in a pressurized water reactor is described and compared to an analytical model. The method correlates fluctuations in the neutron flux with fluctuations in the coolant temperature. Results show that the frequency...
