EXTENSION OF XENON OSCILLATIONS SAFETY MARGINS USING WEAKLY NONLINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS
Weakly nonlinear stability analysis is applied to study xenon oscillations in nuclear reactors using the approach of multiple time-scales method.This approach allows to characterize the dynamics of the system beyond the Hopf instability point.It provides important insight on the characteristics Circle Acrylic Ornament of the oscillations, namely if
