Abstract
A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate. When a reactor's neutron population remains steady from one generation to the next, the reactor's condition is referred to as "critical reactivity" (power is constant). The state, when the neutron production exceeds losses, is called "supercritical reactivity" (power is increasing), and when losses dominate "subcritical reactivity" (power is decreasing). The purpose of the power controller is to provide that the power of the inherently unstable nuclear reactor tracks the given setpoint. The paper reports the process of design and implementation of the power controller for the experimental pressurized water reactor. The original selector control strategy is described and tested on the simplified reactor model.
