Abstract
THE power output of a conventional fossil-fired power plant is limited by the rate at which fuel can be fed to the boiler. No such convenient limitation is available for a nuclear reactor, which theoretically has no upper limit of power level. After allowance is made for all restrictive negative coefficients of reactivity, the maximum power is still excessive. Clearly, some artificial means of limiting the power is indicated.
