+    "This notebook simulates pump transients for the MSRE at zero power (10W). A dynamical system representing the MSRE is built using the [msrDynamics](https://github.com/LukeLabrie/msrDynamics) tool. The system is run at steady-state until $t = 2500$, where the fuel and coolant pumps are spun down at the rate defined by the ORNL data. After allowing the system to settle to a new equilibrium, at $t = 7500$, the pumps are spun up again. The model includes a reactivity response, `rho_control`, which models the response of the MSRE control rod to maintain constant power. It is modeled as a pure integrator of $\\frac{dn}{dt}$ from the point-kinetics equations with a coefficient of -1.0, i.e. it tries to exactly cancel reactivity changes introduced by flow changes, with the caveat that changes are limited to $\\pm$29 pcm/s, which was the maximum rate achievable by the MSRE control rods.
