Control blade history reactivity and pin power effects evaluated with Westinghouse BWR nodal core simulator POLCA8

The so-called “Control Blade History” (CBH) effect has always posed a serious challenge for any nodal core simulator in performing Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) core analyses. In this paper a method to handle such CBH effects is proposed based on the idea of interpolating lattice physics data between...
