3. pro ellant is also conserved during shdtdown by throttfing the thrust to the throttle point before ramping down the temperature. More importantly, a short hold (1-3 minutes) at the throttle point during shutdown results in a reduction in propellant consumption far delayed neutron power and fissionproduct decay heat absorption.
