  1. Page, R.D. - Selected Works, by R.D. Page, AECL, 1950-01-01. Doc type: Essay.
    Summary: Ron Page (1925-2014). In 1958, Ron was posted on attachment to Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.(AECL) at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories from Orenda. In September 1959, he joined Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to form Power Reactor Fuel Engineering. He was responsible for all the development of CANDU nuclear power reactor fuel. (NPD-2, Douglas Point, Indian RAPP I, Pickering A&B, Gentilly-1 BLW, Bruce A&B, Gentilly-2 600 MWe reactors). In 1970, he was transferred to AECL Engineering Co., Sheridan Park near Toronto, Ont. to form a new branch of Fuel Engineering. In 1980 he became the R & D program manager for all the combined AECL/Ontario Hydro R&D programs and later CANDU Owners Group (COG) R&D programs. He was a Associate Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, a Professional Engineer of Ontario, a director of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society, a member of AECL CANDU Retirees Association, Federal Superannuates National Association and a member of CANDU Origins and Evolution working group. He retired in January 1987.

  2. Carver, M.B. - Selected Papers and Reports, by M.B. Carver, AECL, 1950-01-01. Doc type: Essay.
    Summary: Michael B. Carver, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University 1963, Athlone fellow MSc in thermodynamics, University of Birmingham (UK) 1965, Ph.D Mechanical Engineering, University of Ottawa 1987. Joined AECL, Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in November, 1965 - chosen because of its location deep in the backwoods, on the OTTAWA river giving lots of opportunity for outdoor activities. AECL was then a great place to do 'Prestige R&D' and indulge in research in a number of fields. Mike traveled to nuclear conferences all over the Northern Hemisphere, giving presentations on his research. There was something about that atmosphere that made him publish poetry as well. And maybe it was the poet in him that came up with the computer code acronyms THIRST and ASSERT. See also https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael_Carver3. As a nuclear reactor relies entirely on fluid circuits for energy transfer, mathematical modeling of thermalhydraulic phenomena plays an important role in reactor design, development, safety and Dynamics (CFD) is, thus, of central importance to nuclear power plant systems. Mike spent his career improving CFD mathematical algorithms. His seminal contributions are given herein.

  6. The Effect of Bypass Characteristics on Parallel Channel Flow Instabilities, by M.B. Carver, AECL, 1969-01-02. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: This article is definitive because nobody could figure out why all the instability codes gave stability thresholds well below the measured threshold power in the experiments done at Canadian Westinghouse. The paper determines analytically that this is because the small bypass stabilized the experimental system as it could not maintain a constant pressure drop, which all the codes assumed at step 1.

  12. Efficient Integration over Discontinuities in Ordinary Differential Equation Simulation, by M.B. Carver, AECL, 1978-01-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: Efficient integration algorithms for ordinary differential equations take integration steps that are as large as the error control criteria permit. Events or discontinuities in equation definition are often implicitly defined to occur when a variable reaches a critical value, for example a fuel rod surface reaching saturation temperature, and this requires the integrator to basically restart the calculation precisely at the point of change. Instead integrators will "hunt" for the discontinuity wasting a lot of computer time, and will eventually "step over" the discontinuity using integration points either side of the event. This paper shows that if the discontinuity is defined and monitored as an additional part of the equation set, such a restart can be optimized, thus ensuring that the event will be defined as an integration restart point.

  13. The method of lines and the advective equation, by M.B. Carver and H.W. Hinds, AECL, 1978-08-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: This article showed that the common approach of first order differencing, used in almost all thermalhydraulic computer programs, would not properly solve the simplest hyperbolic PDE on the market. Despite the errata, it is Carver's most cited publication and laid the foundations for many higher order analyses by others, and Carver's pseudo-characteristic method of lines (PCMOL) solution of the thermalhydraulic conservation equations.

  15. Pseudo-characteristic method of lines solution of first-order hyperbolic equation systems, by M.B. Carver, AECL, 1980-01-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: This paper introduced a new concept, pseudo-characteristics, which allows the directionality dictated by the method of characteristics to be applied on a fixed grid basis. This is the method that N.P. Kolev Nuclear Institute of Bulgaria and M. B. Carver used to apply to the EVUT form of the thermalhydraulic conservation equations at the OECD/CSNI conference on two phase flow, Pasedena, 1981. In this MACS paper, discretization of the PDEs is discussed, using higher order upwind biased derivatives of each of the Lagrange polynomials and the Hermite polynomials. Results are shown for incompressible flow in a hydraulic jump and for compressible flow in the EVET thermalhydraulic conservation equations.

  17. A Method of Limiting Intermediate Volume Fraction in Iterative Two-Fluid Computations, by M.B. Carver, AECL, 1982-01-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: This is seminal and the core contribution in Carver's thesis. The ICE guys, Harlow & Amsden and the IPSA guys, Spalding & Patankar had not got it quite right for air/water conditions where the water totally dominates the pressure field calculation when it is based on mass flux balance, as this is dominated by the water component and neglects continuity of the air. Herein, a volumetric balance fixes that and the calculation also converges better with the constraint mentioned in the title.

  18. Two Dimensional Modelling of the Homogenizing Effects of Flow Obstructions in Two Fluid Flow, by M.B. Carver and M. E. Salcudean, AECL, 1984-12-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: It is well known that obstructions in two fluid flow have the effect of homogenizing the two fluid mixture, resulting not only in a more uniform phase distribution, but also in a significant reduction of the ratio of fluid velocities. This paper describes a 2D, 2Fluid computer program written by the first author to do proof of principal studies of 2fluid redistribution around bends and past obstacles. The details necessary for modelling air/water flows in these geometries have been introduced here before extending the work to 3D. The paper shows that these phase redistribution effects can be modelled using the two fluid computer program, and compares results to those obtained in a recent experiment on flow past obstructions.

  20. CANDU Advanced Plutonium Burner - The Canadian Response to the ALWR, by A.R. Dastur and A.C. Mao, AECL, 1989-05-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: As published in the Canadian Nuclear Society Bulletin Vol. 10, No. 3, 1989 with the kind permission of the CNS: It is demonstrated that the prescnt CANDU design concept has potential for increased conversion and resource utilization compared with other reactor concepts. Discussed here is a CANDU based concept thau utilizes energy produced by subcritical multiplication in a fertile region designed for accelerated plutonium production is presented. Its feasibility is based on incorporating the channels with fertile material into the primary heal transport circuit. Calculations with multigroup transport codes predict very high fuel utilization due to the production and burnup of fissile plutonium in the fertile region.

  23. Canada's Nuclear Achievement: Technical and Economic Perspectives, by T.E. Rummery and J.A. MacPherson, AECL, 1995-07-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: As published in the Canadian Nuclear Society Bulletin Vol. 16, No. 2, 1995 with the kind permission of the CNS: Canada's leading role and eminent accomplishments in nuclear development now span more than half a century. They encompass aspects as diverse as the design and sale of nuclear power reactors and research reactor technology, to the establishment of a corps of scientists, engineers and technologists with the expertise to address a wide scope of important nuclear science issues. To address the many facets of Canada's nuclear activities over the past 50 years would obviously require space far beyond that available in this paper. We have therefore limited this review to highlights we judge to be the most pertinent and interesting from an historical, technical and economic perspective. We also indicate briefly our view of the future of nuclear power in the overall context of energy needs in a world that is becoming more industrial and increasingly environmentally conscious.

  33. CANDU Origins and Evolution, by Gordon L. Brooks and John S. Foster, AECL, 2001-02-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: While the name 'CANDU' was not adopted until the 1960's, the CANDU program can be considered to have started in early 1954. At that time, a team, called the Nuclear Power Group, was established to undertake studies intended to identify a potential Canadian nuclear power system. While the team operated under the auspices of AECL and was located in Building 456 at AECL's Chalk River Laboratory, its membership was drawn from a cross-section of Canadian utility and industrial organizations supported, as required, with "nuclear" expertise provided by AECL staff.

  35. Starting Up a CANDU Reactor, by D.A. Meneley, AECL, 2001-07-20. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: CANDU power reactor designers and operators are fully aware of the need for caution in starting up power reactors. However, the open literature describing these established methods is quite sparse, especially with regard to the unique advantages in operability and safety that arise from the computer-driven Reactor Regulating System (RRS). The following text provides a general outline of one procedure appropriate for start-up of a CANDU 6 reactor.

  36. Introduction to Reactor Physics, by Ben Rouben, AECL, 2002-09-01. Doc type: Course.
    Summary: This is a descriptive course on the physics of CANDU reactors. The objective is to familiarize you with the basic concepts and ideas, definitions and quantities which are important in the understanding of reactor physics. The discussion will be at a basic level, as this is an introduction to the subject. Very little emphasis is placed on complex equations or difficult mathematics. The desired outcome of this course is that you will be able in the future to understand and follow reactor-physics discussions in meetings, reports or presentations.
