Hi,
I needed to know some things about reactivity and how it is changed by different factors while making a reactor critical? Control Rods, Booster Rods, Boron, Moderator Level, Xenon etc are affecting the reactivity of the reactor, but how to find out their contribution at certain point and how are they balancing out each other at different operation conditions. For example, if moderator level is changed let's say by 1 inch then how will it affect the reactivity of others and how will they change to counter this change so that they reactor may remain critical. If someone here can give me the detail about reactivity changes with different changing parameters and operation conditions then I will be thankful
