Textbook in PDF format
This textbook is intended to be an introduction to nuclear reactor kinetics, dynamics and stability for students of energy engineering and applied sciences as well as for professionals working in the nuclear field. The basic aspects of transient behavior of nuclear reactors are presented with focus on how to solve practical problems.
The textbook is organized into four chapters and each chapter is divided into several sections. Parts in the book of special interest are designed with icons, as indicated in the table to the left. “Note Corner” contains additional information, not directly related to the topics covered by the book. All examples are marked with a pen icon. Special icons are also used to mark sections with computer programs and suggested more reading.
Chapter one contains introductory information, such as classification of dynamic systems and description of basic approaches to analyze such systems. Chapter two and three are devoted to nuclear reactor kinetics and dynamics using the point-reactor approximation. Chapters four is dealing with dynamics and stability of two-phase flows in heated channels
