Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

An instrument for measuring the net reactivity input to a reactor system has been designed and used at the Halden Boiling Water Reactor (HBWR), Norway, and at the Ågesta power reactor R3, Sweden. The design is based upon extensive use of passive networks. The instrument has been carefully tested. Test results are presented as gain and phase curves for reactivity to power transfer functions and are compared with the theoretical ones. The agreement is quite satisfactory. The operational experience is good.
