This chapter will describe the essential elements of dynamics and control of nuclear reactors. In particular, the chapter will introduce the general specifications for regulators and protection systems for nuclear plants and the principles of risk assessment in international regulations. Then, the control schemes for the principal types of nuclear power plants will be described. Finally, the (time and frequency) dynamic analysis of the neutron kinetics, alone and in feedback loops, will be extensively presented.

Abstract
This chapter will describe the essential elements of dynamics and control of nuclear reactors. In particular, the chapter will introduce the general specifications for regulators and protection systems for nuclear plants and the principles of risk assessment in international regulations. Then, the control schemes for the principal types of nuclear power plants will be described. Finally, the (time and frequency) dynamic analysis of the neutron kinetics, alone and in feedback loops, will be extensively presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
