This book describes various advanced techniques for successful modeling
& simulation of fission product activity (FPA) in primary circuits of
typical Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Fission product activity is
ranked as the second leading source of radiation exposure to nuclear
power plant workers. This book describes both deterministic as well as
dynamic approached for simulation of fission product activity. Details
of mathematical models and the formulation are provided and both power
transients & flow rate perturbations are discussed. Various simulation
techniques including kinetic modeling & comparative study of various
numerical schemes that are discussed under transient states. Arising
from random nature of fuel pin failures during power plant operation, a
novel approach of Monte Carlo based stochastic simulation of fission
product spikes, is introduced in this book. Comparisons of the simulated
results show good agreement with the operational data. suitable for
graduate students and researchers, this book provides in-depth knowledge
regarding effective methods for simulation of FPA.
