IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4111885
A device for regulating the gas flow in a control-rod channel and for absorbing impacts from dropped control rods in gas-cooled reactors is designed comprising (1) a gag member with a vertical bore and gas channels which is fixed at the base of the control-rod channel and (2) a removable impact stool with a head and a stem resting on top of the gag member and inside its bore, respectively, which partially shields the gag gas channels to regulate the flow. The impact stool can be replaced by another stool of different dimensions to vary the amount of flow regulation, and it resists control rod impacts, thereby reductng moderator damage. (D.L.C.)
