IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4810772

A reactor control arrangement in which de-energization of electromagnets is used to release shutdown rods into the core is designed which prevents the possibility of a spurious tripping signal shutting down the reactor. In this arrangement, each electromagnet has three, not just one, energizing windings arranged to release the rod in the event of deenergization of two or three windings. (D.L.C.)
