Abstract: | To study different functionalities of the PWR-900 MW(e) reactor core, an electronic model of Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Enfesied (PSPICE) for electronic circuit design was adopted to model the mathematical models. A classical breadboard electronically simulates the physical terminal characteristics of each network. The electronic simulator, parity simulator, for reactor core can simulate six-delayed neutron groups, single prompt neutron, neutron source, fuel channel, the coolant, reactor poisons, temperature feedback, control rods, safety rods, and boron injection. Positive/negative step or sin reactivity functions are two case studies were analyzed. The obtained results were found to be in a good agreement with the available data of El-Dabaa PWR 900 MW(e) basic simulator. |
