SAFETY ROD FOR LIQUID-COOLED, LIQUID-MODERATED NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4718591
The design of an absorption rod, which can be entirely immersed in or entirely withdrawn from a reactor tank, is patented and described in detail. The rod is secured by an electromagnet and falls of its own weight into the reactor tank when the electromagnet circuit is broken. A braking effect is achieved by D/ sub 2/O in an annular region, which is forced through apertures as the rod falls. The rod is raised by increasing the pressure in the hollow piston rod, thereby forcing D/sub 2/O out of the piston rod and lifting the piston and the safety rod. (M.P.G.)
