With the reactor operating at a fixed power level, the system shall continually adjust the reactivity of the core in response to gradual changes of reactivity, primarily due to normal fuel burn-up. This control of reactivity may be considered as "fine" or "short term" reactivity control and is exercised by automatic operation of the available reactivity control devices. 2, record 1, English, - fine%20control

Lorsque le réacteur fonctionne à un niveau de puissance déterminé, le système de régulation doit continuellement régler la réactivité du cœur en fonction des variations graduelles de la réactivité dues surtout à la combustion normale du combustible. Ce type de réglage de la réactivité peut être réputé «fin» ou «à court terme» et est généralement exécuté par le fonctionnement automatique des dispositifs de réglage de la réactivité qui sont disponibles. 3, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9glage%20fin

Le cuivre pur restant en fin d’opération est suroxydé. Pour le réduire et ramener la teneur en oxygène à 0, 04 p. 100, teneur normale du cuivre électrolytique, on pratique le perchage. Cette opération consiste à plonger des troncs d’arbres dans le bain de métal liquide. La combustion brutale du bois dégage des gaz réducteurs. Le cuivre est ensuite coulé sous forme d’anodes, plaques à «oreilles» destinées à être traitées électrolytiquement. 3, record 6, French, - perchage
