Liquid poison injection shutdown systems
Description
The liquid poison injection shutdown system injects a neutron absorbing solution into the moderator through six horizontally distributed nozzles. The negative reactivity obtained diminishes the neutron flux density and the fission rate until it diminishes the power of the reactor to a safe level. The poisons used to mix with the moderator have a large cross-section to absorb thermal neutrons so that no more fission can take place
