Any power reduction causes a transient xenon peak. The smaller the power reduction the smaller the peak, and the earlier it occurs. For example, on a power reduction from 100% to 60%, there is still an initial excess of production over loss, but significant neutron flux remains to burn out the xenon. The peak height and its duration are reduced, and the peak occurs earlier. 1, record 1, English, - power%20reduction

Toute réduction de puissance cause un pic de xénon transitoire. Plus la réduction de puissance est faible, plus le pic est faible et plus il se produit rapidement. Par exemple, pour une réduction de puissance de 100 % à 60 %, il y a encore une production en excès initial par rapport aux pertes, mais un flux de neutron important demeure pour effectuer la combustion du xénon. La hauteur du pic et sa durée sont réduites, et le pic survient plus tôt. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9duction%20de%20puissance
