Abstract
The reactivity worth of cylindrical control rods of small cross section inserted in a cylindrical reactor is evaluated by means of a variational method. Both one-group and two-group diffusion theory are used and simple formulas are developed for a single eccentric and a concentric array of control rods. The results obtained are illustrated by means of a numerical example amd compared to the results derived from other methods available in the literature. (auth)
