OSTI ID:4107616
An arrangement is described for accurately moving fuel (and possibly control) rods apart or together in a reactor, enabling the reactor to be controlled and eliminating the need for control or moderating rods. The fuel rods are arranged in rows with the rods of each row mounted slidably on a support, and a first mechanical device is provided for varying the distances between rods on a support and a second one for the distances between the suppcrts. The mechanical devices may be of three kinds: articulated quadrilaterals, threaded nuts, and telescopic screws. Drawings are given illustrating the applications of all three. (D.L.C.)
