摘要
A model has been developed for static and dynamic activity analysis of the fission product activity (FPA) in primary coolant of typical pressurized water reactors (PWRs). It has been implemented in the FPCART based computer program FPCART-SA. For long steady power operation of reactor, the computed values of normalized static sensitivity have been compared with the corresponding values obtained by using the dynamic sensitivity analysis. The normalized sensitivity values for the reactor power (P), failed fuel fraction (D), coolant leakage rate (L), total mass of coolant (m) and the let-down flow rate (Q) have been calculated and the values: 1.0, 0.857, -2.0177 x 10(-6), 2.349 x 10(-4), -2.329 x 10(-4) have been found correspondingly for Kr-88 with the dominant value of FPA as 0.273 mu Ci/g.
