Title: COMPLETE AUTOMATION OF NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROLS BY MEANS OF AN AUTOMATICALLY MOVED DETECTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4260833

An analysis is made of the properties of the safety and signalization circuits of reactors, based on the use of a detector automatically moved so, as to be always in a position, where there is a constant neutron flux, irrespective of the immediate power of the reactor. Such circuits may consist of simple elements and may by themselves check their own correct functioning. The properties of the control systems based on the principle of the automatic control of the reactor power according to the movement of the detector are examined. Systems are designed for the automatic starting of the reactor from subcritical state, for reaching the predetermnined power by the chosen period, and for the control of the power. Compact schemes of automatic reactor control may be obtained by supplementing this equipment by independent signalization circuits with an automaticailly transferred detector. (auth)
