Nodal Expansion and its Application in AP1000 Nuclear Reactor Core Monitoring System

Article Preview

Abstract:

As the core monitoring system of AP1000, BEACON always uses a full-core nodal model for core monitoring based on the ANC-NEM nodal model. The theory behind the nodal expansion method is discussed, and the application of the method in BEACON is described. Finally, an ANC-NEM calculation simulation is proposed.
