201321The neutronabsorbing properties of PWR control rods do not deplete much at all during their lifetime because by design they strongly reduce the flux in their vicinity. They are not exposed to full power flux. Radiation growth of their cladding necessitates their replacement of control rods every 1015 years. Burnable absorber rods on the

Three factors affecting the neutron flux were investigated separately. These are thermal neutron selfshielding by solid materials resonance neutron selfshielding and enhancement of thermal flux by moderation of epithermal neutrons within the aqueous samples. Results show that serious errors can arise in activation analysis through
