So it turns out they don't have control rods which go into the core, they have a control drum with little rotating rods on the outside for reflecting and absorbing neutrons pic related. Liquid hydrogen does appear to enter the core. Fuck that. Fuck that. Fuck everything about that. I want to model a solid core NTR reactor core. Multiphase flow with fucking neutron transport seems like it would be a fucking bitch.
