During load follow operation of PWRs, it is required to control the core power distribution and to reduce the amount of cost due to the usage of control devices such as boron adjustment and control rod. Since occurrence of xenon spatial distribution oscillation following the change of the reactor power can cause oscillation in the power distribution, one task in the core power distribution control is to suppress xenon oscillation as effectively as possible. A lot of studies have been done to solve the problem, some of which use complex mathematical treatments. On the other hand, the three axial offsets trajectory method, which uses a simple mathematical treatment based on two points reactor model, has been proved to be effective for xenon oscillation control. In this study, we examined the feasibility of application of the three axial offsets trajectory method in the load follow operation by comparing with conventional strategies such as boron priority control and control rods priority control. In order to increase the effectiveness of control means, we propose a new method that is constructed by considering the superiority of each control strategy.
