Reactor Xenon Poisoning and Iodine Pit Phenomenon

When a non-stationary reactor is shut down or its load is reduced to zero, xenon poisoning occurs due to the disruption of dynamic equilibrium between the increase and decrease of 135Xe. This leads to a temporary increase in 135Xe concentration, followed by a decrease as it decays. The reactivity ma
