Reactivity Control

Reactivity Control is a fundamental nuclear reactor control function by which the reactivity of the core—i.e., the effective neutron multiplication factor—is intentionally adjusted and maintained within prescribed limits, using engineered means such as control rods, neutron-absorbing materials, and coolant or moderator state changes, to ensure safe and reliable power operation and shutdown capability.
