ABSTRACT:
The control cluster is usable for power regulation and for load following. It comprises a spider from which are suspended rods containing a column of neutron-absorbing material. The neutron-absorbing material in at least some rods is stainless steel in lower part of the rod and, in an upper part of the rod having a length equal to 20 and 40% of the height of the column of absorbing material, another material exhibiting an interference neutron absorption which is much higher than that of stainless steel, for instance Ag-In-Cd.
