2. Hybrid reactor control
2.1 Classical principles of critical reactor control
In a critical reactor, it is essentially through the movement of the control rods, which are neutron absorbers, that the value of the multiplication coefficient K eff is modified. When talking about the evolution of a reactor, reactivity is commonly used:
The time constant associated with control rod movement is typically measured in seconds. The time...
