Abstract
A method is for controlling a nuclear power plant comprising a pressurized water nuclear reactor. The method includes determining that an obtained waiting period and/or a remaining waiting period is greater than a first predetermined time allowing raising of a Xenon concentration to maximal value. The method further includes, responsive to the determination, moving one or more control rods out of the reactor core for compensating the reactivity loss due to an increase of the Xenon concentration, and moving the one or more control rods into the reactor core to a control rod setpoint for the start of power ramp up before the end of the obtained waiting period and/or remaining waiting period.
