| Summary: | The nature and characteristics of nuclear reactor transients
induced by control rod motions are important to light-water
reactor safety analyses. Rod motion influences both local
neutron absorption rates and the local neutron spectra.
Studies on specific systems suggest that accurate prediction
of transients requires that both the absorption rate change
and the spectral change are necessary to represent control rod
motion. |
