AbstractAbstract
[en] Reactivity in thermal and epithermal reactors may be increased by inserting into these reactors at least one rod of a heavy element having high inelastic cross-section for high energy neutrons with energys above 1 MeV and low caputre cross-sections. The heavy element may be lead, bismuth, or compounds and mixtures of lead and bismuth. Such incrases may be used, for example, to reduce heavy water needs in the case of heavy water moderated reactors and enrichment needs in the case of light water reactors. (auth)
