Controlling reactivity means controlling the nuclear reaction by absorbing some of the neutrons produced. The operator has two ways of doing this:
boric acid diluted in the primary circuit water, the concentration of which is varied;
control clusters that can be inserted or removed from fuel assemblies.
The bunches are suspended from a rod which...
