by hafnium i assume you are refering to the natural piosions? and that there are many ways to control the k effect, we personally use recirculation pumps to change the moderator density for fine control, or control rods for course. we also have sodium pentaborate for emergencies. as far as supercritical goes, the introduction to nuclear power manual defines it justas i stated before. btw, the soviet reactor used a horrible design that used graphite as the moderator. (heard it on the radio)
natural poisons???? You should listen closer to the radio chief...you just restated what I said since all those control methods are used for reactors designed as supercrit... Only difference is, the control rods that you mention....you don't seem to realize they're made of hafnium.
