Kd. Ilieva et al., CALCULATION MODELING OF DETECTOR ACTIVITY IN THE VVER PRESSURIZED-WATER REACTOR VESSEL SURVEILLANCE, Nuclear science and engineering, 122(1), 1996, pp. 131-135
Calculation modeling of detector activity in a VVER/pressurized water
reactor pressure vessel surveillance program, necessary for neutron fl
uence assessments, is developed. The detector activity for certain det
ectors could be obtained by solving the neutron transport equation by
the appropriate activity source taking into consideration the time-dep
endent local power distribution. The presented results demonstrate the
importance of accounting for local power variations.
