Error detection in core loading in the condition of asymmetrical distribution of power
-
A. Ryzhov
Abstract
The error detection in core loading in many cases happens in conditions of a significant asymmetry in the distribution of power density, which is caused by thermal mechanical deformations of reactor core, and temperature differences in the cold legs of coolant. The asymmetry of power distribution essentially decreases the effectiveness of algorithms used to detect errors in the core loading using ICIS data. The paper proposes the ways for solving this problem by means of special filtration algorithms.
Kurzfassung
Die Fehlererkennung in Kernbeladungen muss in vielen Fällen beim Vorliegen deutlich asymmetrischer Leistungsdichteverteilungen durchgeführt werden. Diese Asymmetrie wird durch thermische mechanische Verformungen des Reaktorkerns und durch Temperaturdifferenzen in kalten Kühlmittelsträngen hervorgerufen und führt zu einer deutlichen Effektivitätsverlust der Algorithmen, die zur Fehlererkennung der Kernbeladung auf Basis der ICIS-Daten benutzt werden. In diesem Beitrag werden spezielle Filteralgorithmen vorgestellt, mit deren Hilfe diese Probleme verringert werden können.
