Dynamics and Control of Nuclear Reactors presents the latest knowledge and research in reactor dynamics, control and instrumentation; important factors in ensuring the safe and economic operation of nuclear power plants. This book provides current and future engineers with a single resource containing all relevant information, including detailed treatments on the modeling, simulation, operational features and dynamic characteristics of pressurized light-water reactors, boiling light-water reactors, pressurized heavy-water reactors and molten-salt reactors. It also provides pertinent, but less detailed information on small modular reactors, sodium fast reactors, and gas-cooled reactors. Provides case studies and examples to demonstrate learning through problem solving, including an analysis of accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima DaiichiIncludes MATLAB codes to enable the reader to apply the knowledge gained to their own projects and researchFeatures examples and problems that illustrate the principles of dynamic analysis as well as the mathematical tools necessary to understand and apply the analysis 聽Publishers Note:聽 Table 3.1 has been revised and will be included in future printings of the book with the following data:Group聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Decay Constant, li (sec-1)聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Delayed Neutron Fraction (bi) 聽聽聽 1聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.0124聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.000221 聽聽聽 2聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.0305聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.001467 聽聽聽 3聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.111聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.001313 聽聽聽 4聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.301聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.002647 聽聽聽 5聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 1.14聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.000771 聽聽聽 6聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 3.01聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 0.000281 聽Total delayed neutron fraction:聽 0.0067
