2 1. Introduction 2 predominant types of existing commercial nuclear power plants: Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). In BWRs, coolant in the primary system allowed to boil. possibility of density wave instabilities. Overview of the presentation: instabilities in forced-circulation BWRs; instabilities in natural-circulation BWRs. C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -2-
3 2. Instabilities in forced-circulation BWRs Existing commercial BWRs of the so-called Gen-II type: C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -3-
4 Strong coupling between the neutronics and the thermalhydraulics: Fig. 1. Stability mechanism of a BWR. C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -4-
5 Possible self-sustained oscillations due to the time delay between the initial perturbation and the corresponding feedback mechanism, which might reinforce the initial perturbation (instead of damping it): Reactivity Neutron flux Void Feedback 1 Fluctuations (AU) Time (s) C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -5-
6 3 types of instability, all of them involving density waves in the core. 2 (out of 3) modes of instabilities due to the interplay between the neutronics and the thermalhydraulics (the last being a pure thermalhydraulic instability). Decomposition of the neutron flux on a set of orthogonal eigenfunctions ϕ n ( r) in order to understand the radial space-dependence of the coupled instabilities: φ( r, t) = a n ()ϕ t n ( r) n = 0 (1) C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -6-

Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -7-
8 3 types of instability, all of them involving density waves in the core: Fundamental mode or global (in-phase) oscillation fundamental mode oscillating over the whole core; interplay between the neutronics (destabilizing effect since supercritical mode) and the thermalhydraulics (stabilizing effect due to the damping of the pressure/flow oscillations by the recirculation loop). ± ± P Oscillates P39.cvs C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -8-
9 Fundamental mode or global (in-phase) oscillation (cont.) fundamental mode oscillating over the whole core; interplay between the neutronics (destabilizing effect since supercritical mode) and the thermalhydraulics (stabilizing effect due to the damping of the pressure/flow oscillations by the recirculation loop). simulation C.

11 Azimuthal mode or regional (out-of-phase) oscillation two first azimuthal (+ axial) modes oscillating over the whole core; interplay between the neutronics (stabilizing effect) and the thermal-hydraulics (destabilizing effect since flow redistribution through the core that always fulfils the boundary conditions imposed by the recirculation loop); eigenvalue separation might be overcome by enough thermal-hydraulic feedback. Core A ± Core B ± P Constant P40.cvs C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -11-
12 Azimuthal mode or regional (out-of-phase) oscillation (cont.) two first azimuthal (+ axial) modes oscillating over the whole core; interplay between the neutronics (stabilizing effect) and the thermal-hydraulics (destabilizing effect since flow redistribution through the core that always fulfils the boundary conditions imposed by the recirculation loop); eigenvalue separation might be overcome by enough thermal-hydraulic feedback. simulation C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -12-
13 Azimuthal mode or regional (out-of-phase) oscillation (cont.) possible rotating symmetry or neutral line due to the superposition of the two first azimuthal modes, with a phase shift ϕ() t that can vary with time (or equivalently superposition of the two first azimuthal modes with slightly different oscillation frequencies). + ϕ() t ϕ() t C.

15 Channel instability or Density Wave Oscillation (DWO) or local oscillation due to a purely thermal-hydraulic feedback effect: fluctuations of pressure drop propagating up and down in the channel (fixed pressure drop over the core). C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -15-
16 Channel instability or Density Wave Oscillation (DWO) or local oscillation (cont.) local noise source in a certain channel; can be induced by an unseated fuel assembly, where some of the coolant bypasses the fuel channel. simulation C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -16-

18 3. Analysis of flashing-induced instabilities in natural-circulation BWRs ESBWR (Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor) from General Electric: new nuclear reactor type based on natural circulation.

28 4. Conclusions Presentation of the different types of instabilities in both forced- and natural-circulation BWRs. BWR instabilities still an open issue operating maps inside which the reactor is stable. Wavelet-based methods very good for studying the non-stationary and multifractal character of the BWR instabilities. C. Demazière SIAMUF seminar, October 20-21, 2005 page -28-
