The most common indicator currently employed in practice to assess boiling water reactor (BWR) instability, due to density wave oscillation (DWO) is the Decay Ratio (DR), an easy to grasp index that is regularly calculated from an estimate of the impulse response function of the reactor core, such impulse response...
At present, energy demand grows as the population increases, it is estimated that in some decades fossil resources will not be enough to satisfy the demand. For this reason, many countries have been motivated to carry out research in design and develop for the application of energy alternatives like solar,...
