Summary
Reactor Criticality
refers to the state in which a
Nuclear Reactor
sustains a
Steady chain reaction
, producing a
Constant output of energy
. Achieving and maintaining this balance is crucial for the
Safe And Efficient Operation
of
Nuclear power plants
, as it ensures that the reactor neither shuts down nor exceeds its
Designed power limits
.
