I removed this unreferenced statement:

"Some neutron sources also serve as additional sources of delayed neutrons; these serve to dampen the response rate of reactor power to control rods and power transients, allowing safer and more stable operation."

This is false. Since source neutrons do not respond to the chain reaction, they cannot be classified as delayed neutrons. Ntouran (talk) 17:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
