The primary requirement in the design of modern reactor systems is safety. For this the designer must ensure that the control system can shut the reactor down under all possible circumstances with an adequate shutdown margin. Neutron absorbers are divided into various groups and the function of each group is discussed. The reactivity investment in the control system, control-rod distribution and effectiveness, and most-effective absorber patterns are discussed. A curve is given showing the axial flux distortion due to partial insertion of control rods. Methods used in the calculation of control-rod effectiveness are outiined. (B.O.G.)
