Course: 
 Fundamentals of Nuclear 
Reactor Operation  
 
Modular course two weeks

 FUNDAMENTALS OF NUCLEAR REACTOR OPERATION. 
 
OBJECTIVES. 
 To provide the basic elements for the understanding of the production 
process and fission energy profit, which are mainly related to the nuclear 
reactor. 
 To introduce the technological aspects associated to the reactor core. 
 To give the basic foundations of calculation and evaluation. 
 To present the basic nuclear fuel cycle elements. 
 
EXTENSION. 
The extension of the course is two weeks, six hours every day. From 8h30 to 
14h30. 
CONTENTS 
 
 Course presentation. 
 Introduction to the Nuclear Energy. Nuclear reactor operation 
principle. Historical introduction and current situation of the fission 
nuclear energy profit. 
 Neutron interaction. Reactions types. Cross sections according to the 
energy. Neutron scattering. Moderation power and reason. Westcott 
factors. 
 Fission process in a nuclear reactor. Fission reaction. Conversion and 
reproduction. Fission energy. Nuclear reactor power. Fuel consumption, 
fission products. 
 Neutron multiplication in a nuclear reactor. The multiplication factor. 
The four and six factors formula. Critical mass. 
 Reactor kinetics. Delayed and non delayed neutrons. Reactivity 
equation for six delayed neutron groups. Small reactivities. Flux 
evolution. 
 Control rod effect. Control-rod Worth. Differential and integral value. 
 Soluble poisons. Reactivity effect calculation. 
 Burnable poisons. Location. Reactivity effect calculation. 
 Reactivity temperature effects. Feedback coefficients. Stability. Fuel 
temperature coefficient. Moderator temperature coefficient.

 Fission products poisoning. Dead Time. Xenon space oscillations. 
Samarium effects. 
 Neutron Sources. Intrinsic and external sources. Sub critical 
multiplication. Bending curves. 
 
METHODOLOGY 
 
Theory and exercises. 
 
The contents of the different lessons that constitute the program are exhibited in 
the classroom. There are insertions of exercises for the accomplishment of 
fixing and quantifying the presented concepts. 
 
To improve the operation of these sessions the professor usually uses the 
multimedia on Nuclear Reactor Physics with video-projector. This multimedia 
allows the main ideas about the exhibition graph enrichment. With sufficient 
anticipation, a copy is distributed to the students in paper or in cd. This copy 
makes easier to focus the attention on the explanations, without having to take 
excessive annotation. 
 
NUCLEAR REACTOR PHYSICS MULTIMEDIA. 
 
It has been carried out the Multimedia of Nuclear Reactor Physics at UPC. The 
Multimedia objective is to integrate the new technologies to enrich and to give 
impulse to the teaching in the subjects. This multimedia will help the students 
deepen in the matter with greater easiness, as well as increase their motivation. 
The multimedia is in English, Spanish, French and Russian. 
 
The multimedia has been distributed to 126 institutions from 53 countries.
