Abstract
The possibility of using laminated burnable poisons to compensate the reactivity of nuclear reactors is discussed. A method is proposed for computing the neutron distribution outside the poison in the P1-approximation; the space and time distribution of absorbing material in a slab of burnable poison consisting of several layers of heterogeneous materials is calculated on the assumption that scattering may be neglected.
