  • Publication number: 20110015903
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of searching for positions to place control rods with crack in a boiling water reactor core. When a control rod is broken in a nuclear reactor core, it is determined whether the smallest cold shut-down margin meets the regulations of the laws. Positions meeting the regulations of the laws are found to place control rods that might be broken but are still in operation in the reactor core. After the cold shut-down margins are confirmed, the critical safety is determined to avoid the risk of not being able to shut down the reactor core when urgent shut-down is needed.

  • Publication number: 20070223644
    Abstract: Usually an analysis of fuel displacement accident is required before operating a reactor. In the present invention, fuel displacement accident is analyzed by linearly combining calculation results of single displacement layouts and a calculation result of a default placement layout. In this way, a number of displacement combinations to be analyzed can be reduced. And, thus, time for the analysis is saved and safety of the reactor core can be affirmed.
