Development of a standard for calculation and measurement of the moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity in water-moderated power reactors

Description: The contents of ANS 19.11, the standard for ``Calculation and Measurement of the Moderator Temperature Coefficient of Reactivity in Water-Moderated Power Reactors,`` are described. The standard addresses the calculation of the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) both at standby conditions and at power. In addition, it describes several methods for the measurement of the at-power MTC and assesses their relative advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it specifies a minimum set of documentatio… more

Development of a standard for calculation and measurement of the moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity in water-moderated power reactors

Description: The moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity (MTC) is an important parameter in safety analyses for thermal reactors. A positive MTC can exacerbate the severity of heatup transients, while a negative MTC can worsen the severity of cooldown transients. In particular, a strongly negative MTC is the major determinate of the severity of the steamline-break accident for pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Conversely, positive and negative MTCs can mitigate the severity of cooldown and heatup t… more
