Robertson, A T; Hibbert, J W

A control mechanism for moving control rods in and out of the reactor core by electric motors has been invented in which each motor has two or more separate windings supplied from a corresponding number of generators, each capable of producing full control of rod movement. Each motor's generator has a regulating means to enable all the motor windings to be supplied simultaneously and in synchronization. A diagram of a 3-motor mechanism is given. (D.L.C.)
