Title: AN ACCURATE CONTROL ROD POSITION INDICATOR SYSTEM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4110339

A control-rod positton-indicator system for experimental zero-power nuclear reactors is described. The system combines servomechanism practices and analog-to digital conversion techniques and provides non-ambiguous inline digital display with an accuracy of plus or minus 0.001 in. over a 72-in. control-rod travel. A printed record of controlrod positions can be made of manually selected rods or all rods can be automatically scanned in sequence and their positions recorded. (auth)
