The phrase or term "shut down", "shut-down" or "shutdown" can be used to mean "turning off" something, but most commonly used for machines, especially nuclear reactors and computers. It also has a use in economics, for profit maximization. The verb forms, such as "to shut down", are always separate words, as otherwise would lead to absurd forms as "shutdowning". Note that the phrase "shut up" has quite different meanings. "SD" is a slang term for "shut down".
Nuclear reactors
In a nuclear reactor, shutdown refers to the state of the reactor when it is subcritical by at least a margin defined in the reactor's technical specifications. Further requirements for being shut down may include having the reactor control key be secured and having no fuel movements or control systems maintenance in progress.
The shutdown margin is defined in terms of reactivity, frequently in units of delta-k/k (where k is taken to mean k-effective, the effective multiplication factor) or occasionally in dollars. Shutdown margin refers to the margin by which the reactor is subcritical when all control rods are in OR the margin by which the reactor would be shut down in the event of a scram. Hence, care must be taken to define shutdown margin in the most conservative way in the reactor's technical specifications; a typical research reactor will specify the margin when in the cold condition, without xenon. Under this specification, the shutdown margin can be simply calculated as the sum of the control rod worths minus the core excess.
