Prior to lowering of the rods (line ✱), the reactivity on the bottom was lower than in the center, so it's not clear to me why it would surpass reactivity in the center after partial lowering of the rods (lines ○, □ and △). I understand why it would increase, but not why it would surpass (at >0s and ~6m) the maximum local reactivity at 0s (at ~2m). Note that this plot is in relative units, in absolute ones, the spike at ~6m is much taller, according to one source. | |
