Book Description
It is well known that boiling water reactors can experience inadvertent power oscillations. When such instability occurs the core can oscillate in two different modes (in phase mode and out of phase mode). In the late 90's a stability benchmark was created using the stability data obtained from the experiments at the Swedish nuclear power plant of Ringhals-1. Data was collected from the cycles 14, 15 , 16 and 17. Later on, this data was used to validate the various models and codes with the aim of predicting the instability behavior of the core and understand the triggers of such oscillations. The current trend of increasing reactor power density and relying on natural circulation for core cooling may have consequences for the stability of modern BWR's designs. The objective of this work is to find the most important parameters affecting the stability of the BWRs and propose alternative stability maps. For this purpose a TRACE/PARCS model of the Ringhals-1 NPP will be used. Afterwards a selection of possible parameters and dimensionless numbers will be made to study its effect on stability. Once those parameters are found they will be included in the stability maps to make them more accurate.

Book Description
In the design of novel nuclear reactors active systems are replaced by passive ones in order to reduce the risk of failure. For that reason natural circulation is being considered as the primary cooling mechanism in next generation nuclear reactor designs such as the natural circulation boiling water reactor (BWR). In such a reactor, however, the flow is not a controlled parameter but is dependent on the power. As a result, the dynamical behavior significantly differs from that in conventional forced circulation BWRs. For that reason, predicting the stability characteristics of these reactors has to be carefully studied. In this work, a number of open issues are investigated regarding the stability of natural circulation BWRs (e.g. margins to instabilities at rated conditions, interaction between the thermal-hydraulics and the neutronics, and the occurrence of flashing induced instabilities) with a strong emphasis on experimental evidence.
