The 1 MWth TRIGA PUSPATI Reactor known as RTP undergoes more than 37 years of operation in Malaysia. The current core power control utilized Feedback Control Algorithm (FCA) and a conventional Control Rod Selection Algorithm (CRSA). However, the current power tracking performance suffers and increas...
