I think what I was trying to convey was you can always undergo the scram action on a nuclear reactor to halt it. The problem with this is in some cases, this mean restarting the reactor costs more than the value of the electricity it will generate before refueling.

If there's an emergency that warrants scramming the reactor, the time it will need to restart should be low on your list of priorities. As for refueling, in some designs like CANDU refueling can be done 'online', refueling one tube while the others are running.
