Deskripsi
This research analyzed the water flow and bubble (void) of nuclear reactor core of Chernobyl Power Plant, for 5 seconds before the explosion, using a mathematical model of two-dimensional spherical coordinates. To solve the problem, we considered this phenomenon as an analogy of Newtonian gravity theory, which had been solved in Schwarzchild Solution. As a result, the calculated radius of the spherical space of water and bubble indicated the maximum limit, at which the reactor core lost the control of reactor power. And, then, a regression analysis, with exponential model, confirmed the influence of bubble and water to the reactor’s power.
