SPRING DRIVEN ACTUATING MECHANISM FOR NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4823243
; ;

l962. rod in a nuclear reactor to shut it down. The control rod or an extension thereof is wound on a drum as it is withdrawn from the reactor. When an emergency occurs requiring the reactor to be shut down, the drum is released so as to be free to rotate, and the tendency of the control rod or its extension coiled on the drum to straighten itself is used for quickly returning the control rod to the reactor.
