Abstract: Abstract A novel approach is developed to investigate xenon oscillations within a two-group two-region coupled core reactor model incorporating thermal feedback and poison effects. Group-wise neutronic coupling coefficients between the core regions are calculated applying… read more here.

Abstract: In this paper, Sliding Mode Control (SMC) which is a robust nonlinear controller is designed to control the pressurised-water nuclear reactor power for the load-following operation problem that ensures xenon oscillations are kept bounded within… read more here.
