Using the Offset-Power Diagram to Monitor the Local Linear Power Density of Fuel Elements in a VVÉR-1000 Core

A method for real-time monitoring of jumps in the local linear power density of fuel elements in a VVÉR-1000 core is described. Monitoring jumps in the local power is one component of the improved algorithms for reactor control which ease the operating conditions for the fuel assemblies.[PUBLICATION...
