Abstract
During operation of a light water moderated and cooled nuclear reactor, rods varying the neutron energy spectrum are introduced into the core of the reactor in the course of a first phase of the cycle in order to reduce the ratio of the volume of moderator to the volume of fissile material in the core. In a second phase of the cycle the spectrum displacement rods are extracted. The rods are of a mixture of thorium energy neutrons. The rods may be of fertile material and--depleted uranium. The invention is of particular interest in PWRs.
