A method of producing a neutron absorption means for a control rod in a nuclear plant, the neutron absorption means comprising a compound of at least one neutron absorbing agent and an additional component, characterized in that a powder, comprising said compound, and a powder, comprising the neutron absorbing agent in an essentially pure state, are mixed and subjected to a pressing at an elevated temperature, in such a way that a solid body is formed, the content of the neutron absorbing agent in relation to the additional component being higher in the solid body than in the original compound. Furthermore, the invention relates to a neutron absorbing means for a control rod in a nuclear plant, the means comprising a compound with the composition BxCy, where x/y is greater than 4. The invention relates also to the use of such a neutron absorbing means for a control rod in a nuclear plant.
