Moderator Poisoning

Moderator Poisoning is a neutron moderation phenomenon in which the unintended accumulation of neutron-absorbing impurities within a moderator material selectively reduces the effective neutron flux available for sustaining a nuclear chain reaction, thereby degrading the thermalization efficiency of the reactor core.
