Abstract

The reactor core model was built on point-reactor kinetic equation and temperature reactivity feedback equation. Under the model, an optimal time control method for load following operation of nuclear reactors based on minimal value theory is studied. The simulation results show that the method presented in the paper makes the nuclear reactor meet optimal time performances.
