Abstract
A nuclear power system includes a reactor vessel that includes a reactor core mounted therein. The reactor core includes nuclear fuel assemblies configured to generate a nuclear fission reaction. The nuclear power system further includes a chemical injection system configured to inject a chemical into the reactor vessel and remove the chemical from the reactor vessel, and a control system communicably coupled to the chemical injection system and configured to control a power output of the nuclear fission reaction. For example, the control system can determine that the power output is greater than an upper value of a range or less than a lower value of the range and, based on the determination, adjust an amount of the chemical injected into or removed from the reactor vessel by the chemical injection system to adjust the power output.
