Reactor Theory (Nuclear Parameters)
TERMINAL OBJECTIVE
4.0
Without references, DESCRIBE the effects of fission product poisons on a reactor.
ENABLING OBJECTIVES
4.1
LIST two methods of production and two methods of removal for xenon-135 during
reactor operation.
4.2
STATE the equation for equilibrium xenon-135 concentration.
4.3
DESCRIBE how equilibrium xenon-135 concentration varies with reactor power level.
4.4
DESCRIBE the causes and effects of a xenon oscillation.
4.5
DESCRIBE how xenon-135 concentration changes following a reactor shutdown from
steady-state conditions.
4.6
EXPLAIN the effect that pre-shutdown power levels have on the xenon-135
concentration after shutdown.
4.7
STATE the approximate time following a reactor shutdown at which the reactor can be
considered "xenon free."
4.8
EXPLAIN what is meant by the following terms:
a.
Xenon precluded startup
b.
Xenon dead time
4.9
DESCRIBE how xenon-135 concentration changes following an increase or a decrease
in the power level of a reactor.
4.10
DESCRIBE how samarium-149 is produced and removed from the reactor core during
reactor operation.
4.11
STATE the equation for equilibrium samarium-149 concentration.
4.12
DESCRIBE how equilibrium samarium-149 concentration varies with reactor power
level.
