Abasic study of the structure of the core response in the basic planned Gen-IV types (metal-cooled, gas-cooled and molten salt reactors)

Kapitel i bok, 2025

In this and the next chapter, analysis of various Generation-IV (Gen-IV) and small modular reactor (SMR) systems is performed for power reactor diagnostics, whereafter in Chapter 6, the extensions judged to be necessary for applications of zero-power noise analysis in next generation systems will be described. Power reactor applications will take a larger extent; zero-power noise applications will be described in a smaller scale. In addition, we treat first the power reactor applications in three chapters, and the zero-power applications follow thereafter in only one chapter. This is in reverse order as compared to the chronology of how these two methods were developed.
