Power in a nuclear reactor is controlled by altering the reactivity input through the use of various reactivity control devices like control rods, liquid poisons light water compartments, etc. A positive reactivity increases the effective neutron multiplication rate, thus increasing the reactor power, while a negative reactivity reduces the reactor power through decrease in effective neutron multiplication rate. The control system in a nuclear reactor generates the inputs which modulate the reactivity control devices to alter the reactivity input to the reactor in order to control the power.

摘要

Power in a nuclear reactor is controlled by altering the reactivity input through the use of various reactivity control devices like control rods, liquid poisons light water compartments, etc. A positive reactivity increases the effective neutron multiplication rate, thus increasing the reactor power, while a negative reactivity reduces the reactor power through decrease in effective neutron multiplication rate. The control system in a nuclear reactor generates the inputs which modulate the reactivity control devices to alter the reactivity input to the reactor in order to control the power.
