AbstractAbstract
[en] Rods containing either beryllium or its compounds may be inserted into the fuel bundles of either light or heavy water moderated reactors. Because beryllium undergoes a (n,2n) reaction with a small neutron capture cross section, it acts not only as a moderator but also as a fast neutron multiplier. In this way the D2O inventory of a heavy water reactor or the fuel enrichment of a light water reactor may be reduced
