Abstract
To improve, in a nuclear reactor and a method for controlling the nuclear reactor, the efficiency of the nuclear reactor.SOLUTION: A nuclear reactor includes: a core composed of nuclear fuel; and a reactivity control device having a plurality of control units each provided with a neutron reflecting unit arranged outside the core and configured to reflect neutrons, and a neutron absorbing unit for absorbing neutrons. The reactivity control device is capable of adjusting, by the control units, positions, of the neutron reflecting units and the neutron absorbing units relative to the core.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
