Maximum value of the measured reactivity when withdrawing the AR rod from 367 mm to 310 mm.
| | Reactor power range | Power level changed (% Pnom) | AR rod position (mm) | Reactivity value in logbook (pcm) | Reactivity by BNO-102R1 (pcm) | Reactivity by FPGA-controller (pcm) |
| | Starting | 4 × 10−3 to 6 × 10−3 | 367 to 310 | 53.4 ± 0.05% | 53.1 ± 5% | 52.7 ± 5% | | Working | 5 × 10−1 to 2.35 | 369 to 310 | N/A | 72.1 ± 5% | 71.5 ± 5% |
