Book Description
Control rod materials, designs, and fabrication processes were compared for their relative economics. Control rod lifetime data were calculated with a simple approximation of nuclear worth depreciation. These data were used in conjunction with the estimated fabrication costs to determine the cost of using several absorber materials in a typical power reactor on a cost-per-year basis. The effect the control system has on core power density and fuel lifetime was included. (auth).
