Xenon override capability

Xenon override capability Because the steam void reactivity effect is large compared with xenon reactivity, the BWR core has the excellent capability of overriding the xenon effect, thereby increasing power after a power decrease. [Pg.115]

Ultimately, bundles can be removed from the channel during on-power refueling and reshuffled, and reinserted in any order. This axial shuffling provides nearly unlimited capability for shaping the axial power distribution, if necessary. Adjuster rods are located interstitially between fuel channels, in the low-pressure moderator. They flatten the power distribution with NUE fuel, a function not required with enriched fuel, and provide xenon-override capability. With an enriched fuel, the adjuster rods can be easily replaced, if desired, or even eliminated, providing further flexibility in accommodating advanced fuel cycles. [Pg.485]
