Abstract
A method for operating a nuclear reactor in order to produce electricity, such that the reactor is controlled so that, during a transient power occurrence for at least one of: a linear power density of the nuclear fuel rod remains lower than a limit linear power density, the limit linear power density being greater than 430 W/cm, and a variation of linear power density of the nuclear fuel rod remains lower than a limit variation, the limit variation being greater than 180 W/cm.
