ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the operation of a nuclear reactor to increase the reactor power in a range in which pellet-clad-mechanical-interaction occurs. The method includes the steps of increasing the reactor power from a power level in which pellet-clad-mechanical-interaction begins to take place up to a predetermined power level for the nuclear reactor and controlling the rate of increase of the linear heat generating rate. The rate of increase is controlled with at least one of a rate no less than 0.15 KW/ft/hr., and a rate no greater than a predetermined critical rate so as to shorten the time necessary to raise the reactor power to the predetermined power level without causing pellet-clad-mechanical-interaction damage to the fuel elements.
