IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4085415
In order to compensate the depletion of the nuclear fuel elements during the rum of the reactor by increase of the moderator action, light water is progressively added to dilute the moderator (which is preferably composed of heawy water). This compensation method may also be used to control the chain reaction in the reactor by changing the ratio heavy water/light water, and may preferably be applied to reactors comprising fissile and fertile materials in separate elements.
