Title: METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY STARTING A NUCLEAR REACTOR FROM SUBCRITICALITY

Abstract

The method described comprises the moving of a sufficiently sensitive detector, according to a program, on a path along which the radiation intensity has an exponential dependence of the space coordinate. The detector signal is compared with another fixed signal, and the output signal is fed from the comparator into the drive mechanism of the control elements which are then moved according to the value of that signal. When the chosen reactor power is reached, the movement of the detector is stopped. (Gmelin Institute)
