Nuclear control rod having embedded filaments
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4376467
A nuclear reactor control rod for regulating or shutting-down the power of a nuclear reactor is described. The control rod features filaments of a neutron absorber bonded together and to a foil backing to form a sheet. Plural sheets are laminated to form a plate, and plural plates may be joined together in a cruciform shape. A preferred method to make such a control comprises forming the sheets by plasma-spraying a corrosionresistant metal to bond the filaments to the foil backing. (Official Gazette)
