Excess reactivity
scroll
Higher reactivity value than required to achieve criticality
of a reactor. Provision is made for excess reactivity in the loading
of a reactor with fuel elements to balance burnup and the accumulation of fission
product poisons during operation. The excess reactivity existing
in a freshly loaded reactor is balanced by the position of shim and
control rods or by adding boron to the reactor coolant.
