Description
A single control rodlet dropped into the Vogtle 2 Cycle 11 core during part power steady-state operation. Flux-map measurements along with analytical predictions were used to confirm the presence of the dropped rodlet, as well as provide representative neutronic models to support subsequent safety analysis evaluations.
