Abstract: It is known that the Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), which are the most common type of nuclear reactor existing today, usually used to provide a base load electricity. In order to be able to compete with other generation types (fossil and renewables), it would be desirable to develop PWRs with flexible load following capabilities to cope with varying electricity demand, especially in deregulated markets.
