The rod ejection accident in a pressurized water reactor and the control rod drop accident in a boiling water reactor are analyzed in this paper, both in a best-estimate (realistic) and a conservative manner. CORETRAN, a modem three-dimensional time-

The estimation of critical heat flux (CHF) in nuclear reactors is based largely on empirical relations that have a physical limiting conditions, a narrow range of applicability, and are inadequate for transient conditions. It is generally agreed that

Boiling water reactors (BWRs) are susceptible to thermal-hydraulic instabilities that must be considered in BWR design and operation. Early BWRs were designed to be very stable while operating unde...
