Reactor core design with practical gadolinia burnable absorbers for soluble boron-free operation in the innovative SMR

The development of soluble boron-free (SBF) operation in the innovative Small Modular Reactor (i-SMR) requires effective strategies for managing excess reactivity over extended operational cycles. This paper introduces a practical approach to reactor core design for SBF operation in i-SMR, emphasizi...
