Abstract
CANDU6 reactor power control programs include flux mapping programs and reactor power regulation programs. For reactor power control, the step of reactor power set point change is redoubled as the step is calculated by the slow program and executed by the fast program; this affects the reactor power control precision. For flux mapping, due to logic error and inappropriate initial setting, failure of a single flux signal may result into a wide range of signals reporting failure, or overflow at specific reactor power levels. This paper studies the causes of these problems and correspondent improvements made to solve these problems.
