A burnable poison rod for use in a nuclear reactor comprises a metallic tube with upper and lower closure means, a neutron absorber positioned within the cladding, and a neutron moderating spacer means positioning the neutron absorber in spaced relation to the lower closure means. The neutron moderating spacing means can comprise a solid neutron moderating material, or a liquid coolant moderator contained within the lower section of the cladding with a sealing plug positioned between the neutron absorber and the liquid coolant moderator. 1, record 1, English, - burnable%20poison%20rod

On peut signaler la détection, en juillet 1979 lors des essais physiques à puissance nulle de la tranche de Bugey 5, d'une anomalie particulière survenue sur les crayons de poisons consommables réalisés en Pyrex (verre silico-boraté). Ces crayons étaient fabriqués en deux parties; celles-ci s'étaient séparées lors du transport, laissant apparaître un vide qui avait provoqué un pic de flux au milieu du cœur. 1, record 1, French, - crayon%20de%20poison%20consommable

Folding Carton.... Tube Styles-Tube constructions are made by folding the boxboard into a square or rectangular tube and gluing the overlapping flap. The end panels are hinged to the tube and are fastened in a variety of different ways including tuck end, sealed end and lock end closing devices. There are numerous versions of the tuck end style. Tooth paste cartons provide a good example of this type of closure. Sealed ends are also a very popular method of closing the tube-style carton. 2, record 12, English, - tube%2Dstyle%20carton
