3.4 LWR Dynamics and Control

Course subject(s) 3. Light Water Reactor Systems and Safety

This lecture is divided into two components: 1) Dynamics and 2) Control. It is provided by Prof. Carol Anhert.In part 1, about the dynamics of the reactor core, she will talk about the various feedback mechanisms which will come into play due to changes in reactivity. In addition to these feedback mechanism, the part 2 of the lecture will introduce you to the control strategies used to counter the reactivity changes.
