Burnable Poisons

Burnable Poisons is a neutron-absorbing material incorporated into nuclear reactor fuel or core design that exhibits a high initial absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons, which depletes over time through neutron-induced transmutation, thereby compensating for excess reactivity in the early stages of reactor operation.
