CODE PACKAGE “PROGNOZ” - SMART SYSTEM TO SUPPORT DECISION MAKING BY THE OPERATOR OF THE RBMK REACTOR (PREPRINT IBRAE-1997-21)

Preprint IBRAE-1997-21

New mathematical methods are presented allowing for the times of about 1~sec to prognosticate at PC~IBM type the special changes of full--scale filds of neutrons, power density, moderator temperature, etc. resulting from the local insertion of reactivity into the reactor core (displacements of shim rods, overloading of channels, etc.). Computation speed of proposed algorithms allow to use them for the development of mathematical support of simulators, programs of “operator adviser” type and other system of operator support.
