L'utilisation d'absorbants neutroniques à base d'éléments ayant une forte section efficace de capture neutronique est parfois nécessaire pour compléter les autres méthodes de contrôle du risque de criticité. Il s'agira par exemple des matériaux borés placés dans les structures internes des emballages de transport de combustibles irradiés [ces emballages, une fois chargés des assemblages combustibles (12 assemblages dans le cas du combustible REP [réacteur à eau pressurisée]), doivent rester sous-critiques lors de leur immersion dans l'eau non borée de la piscine de déchargement] ou bien du gadolinium introduit dans le dissolveur de l’usine de retraitement pour traiter du combustible plus enrichi que le combustible de référence retenu pour le dimensionnement de cet appareil. 1, record 4, French, - piscine%20de%20d%C3%A9chargement

An in-ground swimming pool may seem like a solid, unmovable structure, but it is actually sort of like a boat--it can float in the surrounding ground water. When the pool is empty, the ground water pressure can actually push the structure up out of the ground. This is one of the reasons why pools are filled with water year-round--there needs to be roughly equal pressure on each side of the pool. 1, record 5, English, - in%2Dground%20swimming%20pool
