Setting-up a control-oriented model for simulation of TRIGA Mark II dynamic response

This work is based on an object-oriented approach for the modeling and simulation of the reactor dynamics. The model is applied and validated on a TRIGA Mark II reactor. The aim of this work is to investigate the neutronic reactivity model, accounting for the temperature feedback of the fuel and of the moderator, as well as the poisons accumulation effects. The reactivity model is validated on experimental data from extended transients of the...
