Description

The feasibility of using a reflector control system for a heterogeneous boiling reactor through use of analog simulatlon tecbeiques was examined. The reactor kinetics, reactivity, and steam generation were simulated electronically while the hydraulic portion of the reflector system was represented by a full- scale physical mock-up. The two portions of the system were coupled together, and an attempt was made to achieve a stable, nonoscillating system. Various configurations of hydraulic coupling between the reflector tank and surge tank were used to produce the desired representation of the frictional forces in the system. A system of baffle plates in the … continued below

Description

The feasibility of using a reflector control system for a heterogeneous boiling reactor through use of analog simulatlon tecbeiques was examined. The reactor kinetics, reactivity, and steam generation were simulated electronically while the hydraulic portion of the reflector system was represented by a full- scale physical mock-up. The two portions of the system were coupled together, and an attempt was made to achieve a stable, nonoscillating system. Various configurations of hydraulic coupling between the reflector tank and surge tank were used to produce the desired representation of the frictional forces in the system. A system of baffle plates in the coupling produced the desired damping. With the stable system, the effect of steam-load-demand changes for various values of incremental moderator worth was examined. These studies showed that a reflector control system for this type of reactor is feasible. (auth)
