文摘

According to the complexity of nuclear reactor technology, applying a highly developed simulation is necessary for controlling the nuclear reactor control rods, so in this paper the processes of a controlling model for nuclear reactors have been developed and simulated by the SIMULINK tool kit of MATLAB software and all responses, including oscillation and transient responses, have been analyzed.

In this work an arbitrary value of K_eff as a comparable value is purposed and attributed to input block (H) of diagram and then this value with the received feedback value from block diagram is compared. Since the stability of the cited simulation depends on either velocity or delay time values, therefore according to this simulation the best response and operation which a reactor can have from stability aspect, have been derived. Meantime by viewing the results, the best ranges of velocity and delay time of control rod movement (in unit per second and millisecond respectively) for stability a nuclear reactor has been deduced.
