16. Response of the Gamma TIP Detectorsin a Nuclear Boiling Water Reactor
University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : In order to monitor a nuclear boiling water reactor fixed and movable detectors are used, such as the neutron sensitive LPRM (Local Power Range Monitors) detectors and the gamma sensitive TIP (Traversing Incore Probe) detectors. These provide a mean to verify the predictions obtained from core simulators, which are used for planning and following up the reactor operation. READ MORE

17. CFD model of fluid flow in reactor : A simulation of velocity and heat distribution in a channel
University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : The basic problem of operating a boiling water nuclear reactor (BWR) is that of maximizing the power output while avoiding fuel rod over-heating (dry-out). For the safe operation of BWRs this entails a detailed understanding of the flow of water and steam through the reactor core. READ MORE

18. Investigation of void effects in boiling water reactor fuels using neutron tomography
University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : In a boiling water reactor (BWR), the void is correlated to dry out and the power level of the reactor. However, measuring the void is very difficult so it is therefore calculated with an accuracy that leaves room for improvements. Typically the uncertainty is ± 3% for 40% average void in the reactor.
