After discussion of the basic concepts, students determine the integral and differential worth curve for a chosen control rod (e.g. the regulating rod of the JSI TRIGA reactor) using the rod swap method and the dynamic rod insertion method. In each step of the rod swap procedure, students predict the magnitude of the changes in reactivity due to insertion / withdrawal of the measured / calibrated control rod, and analyse the results on the spot. In the dynamic rod insertion method, students coordinate and time the measurement sequence and analyse the results.
