CONTROL ROD DRIVE FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4085457
A control rod drive is offened which comprises a horizontal shaft winch, to hoist or let down the cable from which the rod is suspended, in combination with an eddycurrent brake mounted on the same axis, the winch being controlled by an electric motor. The groove provided for the cable on the winch drum approaches the axis toward the end of the run of the cable, in order to get a progressive action by reduction of torque produced by the control rod. This action is coupled with an increase of the brake action. (NPO)
