NUCLEAR ANALYSIS DURING MODIFICATION OF NPP CORE
Reactor power and neutron activity control is the main key for safe reactor operation. Reactivity coefficients and effects are main measures to estimate reactor control and safety. These characteristics outline reactors behavior during usually exploitation and accident events. Reactivity coefficients and effects quantify the effect, which various parameters (e.g. fuel and graphite temperatures, amount of steam) have for the core neutron activity. Many modifications of RBMK-1500 reactor cores in Ignalina NPP were made during their lifetime. Reactor core modifications like load of higher enriched fuel with burnable absorber and new design control rods affected reactivity coefficients and effects. Neutron-physical parameters calculations of reactor core states with variant fuel loads and new design control rods were performed using QUABOC/CUBBOC-HYCA software. The changes of reactivity coefficients and effects were quantified in this paper.
