Two methods for calibrating control rods are presented. A theoretical treatment is given of an oscillating technique and experimental results obtained by this method are compared with those obtained by the rod bump-period method. A second technique is described whereby a neutron source is suddenly removed from a subcritical reactor and the neutron levels before and after the change are compared.
