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 Keff 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 interval τnf between two neutron generations is much...
