Chapter 8. Decay heat
Decay heat production is a particular problem associated with nuclear
reactors. Even though the reactor is shut down, heat is produced from
the decay of fission fragments. Limits for each particular reactor are
established to prevent damage to fuel assemblies due to decay heat.
2.7 DEFINE the term decay heat.
2.8 Given the operating conditions of a reactor core and the
necessary formulas, CALCULATE the core decay heat
generation.
2.9 DESCRIBE two categories of methods for removing
decay heat from a reactor core.
