An improved method for estimating the moderator temperature coefficient of pressurized water reactors using multivariate autoregression
… (MTC) of reactivity in pressurized water reactors based on a newly established technique is described. Previous work has correlated stochastic fluctuations in the reactor core-exit temperature with similar fluctuations in the in-core neutron flux. The frequency response function between …

Thermal-hydraulic analysis of a spectral shift reactor core
… analysis of a mechanical spectral shift reactor fuel assembly. In this reactor type, the fuel to water volume ratio is changed to shift the neutron energy spectrum and control reactivity. The ability to handle different fuel to water ratios is the unique feature of this program. The …

FASPEC, a program to determine group constants for up to 47 groups in a fast neutron spectrum
In reactor core design, a gap exists between the manual calculation of few-group constants and the many-group calculation, by large computer programs. A method is needed by which group constants may be calculated easily and quickly. The FASPEC program is designed to reduce the amount of manual …

The Design of Reactor Cores for Civil Nuclear Marine Propulsion
… new generation of compact nuclear power plant designs. In an effort to de-carbonise commercial freight shipping, there is growing interest in the possibility of using nuclear propulsion systems. Reactor cores for such an application would need to be fundamentally different from land-based power …
