| dc.description.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> | en_US |
