Abstract

The assertion that the system monitoring the distribution of energy release in RBMK systematically overstates the maximum channel power was formulated previously in connection with the problem of increasing reactor power. In the present article, this assertion is analyzed using mathematical modeling which includes the stochastic variation of certain parameters.
