A realistic approach for the assessment of the consequences of heterogeneous boron dilution events in pressurized water reactors

Visualization of coolant flow in the model of a nuclear reactor pressure vessel

“…Such studies allow us to clarify the temperature distribution at the core inlet and in the coolant circulation loops, which is especially important in the operation modes of a reactor with an asymmetric load [1][2][3][4]. The results of such studies are also necessary for calculating the distribution of boric acid concentration in the core when it is injected into the coolant [5][6][7][8].…”
