Xenon is both a fission product and a neutron absorber. So if your reactivity dips too low you won't have enough neutrons buzzing around to sustain the reaction

Xenon is both a fission product and a neutron absorber. So if your reactivity dips too low you won't have enough neutrons buzzing around to sustain the reaction and will have to wait for the xenon to decay before you are able to start up again.
