In PWRs - a different LWR system - control rods are withdrawn from the core, and the control is acheived with soluble B-10 in the coolant (which is buffered with LiOH) to maintain a pH above 6.9 or perhaps closer to 7.1 - 7.4 for purposes of minimizing the accumulation of crud (metal corrosion products) on the fuel.
