This investigation is to review advanced technologies for modeling and control of reactor
cores in nuclear power plants for electricity generation. A reactor core in a nuclear power …

The feasibility and the limitations of using nuclear energy as a dispatchable power source
for covering the daily fluctuations of the solar electricity are examined. In particular, the …

Previous work done on reactor kinetics and control in load-following operation modes
available in open literature is reviewed. The analysis is focused on, however not limited to …

Plant polysaccharides have biological activities in the brain and those obtained from Genipa
americana leaves present antioxidant and anticonvulsant effects in the mice model of …

Abstract Axial-Offset (AO), as an important operational parameter, should be monitored in
the load-following procedure due to the safety limits related to xenon oscillation and axial …

This paper proposes a method, based on the artificial neural network technique, to predict
accurately and in real time the power peak factor in a form that can be implemented in …

Spatial power oscillations due to spatial distribution of xenon transient are well known as
xenon oscillation in large reactors. Xenon-induced spatial power oscillations occur as a …

As the nuclear power percentage increases gradually, it brings more attention to advanced
reactor designs, performance and flexibility, including enhanced load follow capability …

The pressurized water reactor (PWR) is a natural choice for the load following operation due
to its inherent self-regulating nature. The nonlinear mathematical model of PWR is derived …

A full scope thermal-neutronic couple has been developed to analyze WWER-1000 nuclear
reactor core by using PARCS v2. 7, COBRA-EN and WIMSD-5B. First, WIMSD-5B has been …
