Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4071437· OSTI ID:4071437
The final design of the operating control rods for the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant was completed. Two such rods are located near the center of the reactor, which is sodium cooled. Boron carbide is used as poison material. A flow distribution test and analysis, thermal analysis, and stress analysis of the rod were performed for both the normal operating and scram conditions. The test and analysis show that the design meets APDA specifications. (auth)
