Core Power Distribution. In order to ensure predictable temperatures and uniform depletion of the fuel installed in a reactor, numerous measures are taken to provide an even distribution of flux throughout the power producing section of the reactor. This shaping, or flattening, of the neutron flux is normally achieved through the use of reflectors that affect the flux profile across the core, or by the installation of poisons to suppress the neutron flux where desired. 2, record 1, English, - power%20distribution

[...] les réacteurs nucléaires sont sujets au phénomène de répartition non uniforme de la puissance dans le cœur d’où la notion de distribution de puissance. Elle est mesurée en unité normalisée et non en unité absolue comme, par exemple, en nombre de fissions ou en watts. Elle s’exprime par un nombre sans dimension : si un élément de volume(dx, dy, dz) du réacteur produit une puissance égale à 1, 25, cela veut dire qu'il fournit une puissance égale à 1, 25 fois la puissance moyenne du cœur. 2, record 1, French, - distribution%20de%20puissance

Maîtrise de la distribution de puissance. Dans le cas des grands réacteurs, lorsque la puissance thermique est significative, on craint l’apparition de surpuissances locales qui peuvent dégrader le combustible. Ces phénomènes peuvent apparaître suite à des perturbations sur la distribution spatiale de la puissance lors de certains transitoires qui induisent des redistributions du flux neutronique, comme par exemple les oscillations xénon. Ils dépendent aussi des coefficients de température, notamment du modérateur. Ceux-ci prennent d’autant plus d’importance que le réacteur est de grandes dimensions. 3, record 1, French, - distribution%20de%20puissance
