OSTI ID:4117524

A control system for D/sub 2/O-cooled and moderated reactors is described which has stationary control elements and provides sensitive reactor control. The control elements are tubes into which BF/sub 3/ gas is pumped for neutron absorption purposes. In operation, the control is varied by changing the temperature of the BF/sub 3/ liquid in the closed control circuit, thus adjusting the gas pressure. (D.L.C.)
