Title: Reactivity Meter Analysis of Rod-Drop Experiments in Zed-2
Authors: Moniz, Manuel
Advisor: Jones, R.T.
Department: Engineering Physics
Keywords: Reactivity;Rod-Drop;Zed-2;point kinetics
Publication Date: Sep-1975
Abstract: <p> A reactivity meter code based on point kinetics was developed. Rod-drop experiments performed in the ZED-2 reactor tested the code for various detector and rod-drop positions. A delayed neutron hold-up effect was observed whenever a rod was dropped close to a detector. A better understanding of this effect was obtained through a theoretical analysis of the pertinent experiments. The three-dimensional kinetics code, CERBERUS, was used for the theoretical analysis. </p>
