Equilibrium Xenon Load. There is no xenon in the fuel of a reactor that has been shut down for a long time(or has never been operated). Xenon slowly builds to an equilibrium level after the reactor is started. The equilibrium level depends on the steady state reactor power. 1, record 1, English, - equilibrium%20xenon%20load

Charge de xénon à l'équilibre. Il n'y a pas de xénon dans le combustible d'un réacteur qui est à l'arrêt depuis longtemps (ou qui n'a jamais été exploité). Le xénon s'accumule tranquillement jusqu'à un niveau d'équilibre, après le démarrage du réacteur. Le niveau d'équilibre dépend de la puissance du réacteur en régime permanent. 1, record 1, French, - charge%20de%20x%C3%A9non%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9quilibre
