This investigation is to review advanced technologies for modeling and control of reactor
cores in nuclear power plants for electricity generation. A reactor core in a nuclear power …

It is well known that Espinosa-parades et al.(Espinosa-Paredes et al., 2011) proposed a
fractional neutron point kinetic (FNPK) model with multi-group of delayed neutrons to …

This work proposes adaptive control-based design strategies to control a pressurized water
reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant (NPP). An L 1-adaptive-based state-feedback control …

Fractional models of the Neutron Point Kinetic Equations have been developed to overcome
certain limitations related to the classical approaches, considering more general physical …

One of the most important issues with respect to nuclear reactors is power control. In this
study, we designed a fractional-order sliding mode controller based on a nonlinear fractional …

This book addresses the topic of fractional-order modeling of nuclear reactors. Approaching
neutron transport in the reactor core as anomalous diffusion, specifically subdiffusion, it …

Novel solutions to the fractional neutron point kinetic equations in terms of Caputo
derivatives are obtained for three different cases: 1) constant reactivity; 2) cold startup …

In this study, a fractional order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller is designed
to create the reference power trajectory and to conquer the uncertainties and external …

Nuclear reactor dynamics is the study of the time-dependent behavior of neutron density in
an exceeding reactor. Knowledge of however the density in a reactor, which can respond to …

A Telegraph model of the Point Reactor Kinetics (TPRK) is developed based on the
monoenergetic, non-fractional order telegraph approximation of the neutron transport …
