Tecniques of Controls of Nuclear Reactors (thesis); TECHNIQUE DES CONTROLES DES REACTEURS NUCLEAIRES (these)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4346452
The problem of reactor control tecbeiques was studied with the aim of effectiag control of the Saclay heavy water reactor, but as the problem was approached in its entirety, the techniques can be used for all reactors using natural uranium. Although nuclear measurements are chiefly discussed, non- nuclear measurements are also included, such as thermodynamic measurements, water level measurements, and manipulation of control rods by servomechanisms. Instruments for the detection and measurement of thermal neutrons and the measurement of ionization currents are discussed, and their construction is described. Two original methods for measurement of the reactivity are presented. Wiring diagrams are given for all the control instruments discussed. (J.S.R.)
