Soluble Poisons in Reactor Control

Description: Theoretical and experimental investigations of the use of soluble poisons (neutron absorbers) to supplement mechanical control rods are summarized. Experimental evaluation of poisons of interest includes in-pile and out-of-pile tests simulating anticipated reactor operating conditions. Other phases of the investigation included methods of poison injection, removal, and cleanup of poison-diluted reactor systems, as well as studies to evaluate possible application of soluble poison control in exi… more
