What Does APS Stand For?
APS stands for Axial Power Shape
APS, or Axial Power Shape, refers to a graphical representation that illustrates the distribution of power across the axial profile of a nuclear reactor core. It is a critical parameter in reactor physics, used to assess the efficiency and safety of the reactor by analyzing how power is generated and distributed during operation. Understanding the APS helps in optimizing fuel utilization and managing thermal limits within the core.
