Abstract
The characteristics of adjuster rods have been studied for the application to DUPIC core in two aspects: the half an hour xenon override capability and power flattening. The transient analysis has shown that the adjusters used for CANDU 6 have the reactivity worths more than required to override xenon load for DUPIC core. Parametric study has shown that removing 7 adjuster rods in the middle row and adjusting the strength of the rest of adjuster rods can provide the performances no worse than those of natural uranium core.
