Control rod position indicator
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1568245
A rod position indication system includes a drive rod operably coupled to a control rod that is configured to be both withdrawn from and inserted into a reactor core. A number of sensing devices are arranged along a path of the drive rod, and an end of the drive rod passes by or through one or more of the sensing devices in response to movement of the control rod relative to the reactor core. The sensing devices are arranged into a plurality of groups, and each group includes two or more of the sensing devices electrically coupled together. The rod position indication system further includes a control rod monitoring device electrically coupled to each group of sensing devices by a routing wire.
