In nuclear reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) operation, conventional Control Rod Speed Design (cCRSD) uses hard saturation to control rod insertion step as a function of the reactivity insertion rate in the reactor core to ensure the power output will not exceed the limit for the operational safety. The c...
