NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4839402
A control rod drive system including a combination of electromechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic force producing means for moving the control rod relative to the neutron field is described. The drive means affords regulation of the control rod position during ordinary operation of the reactor. The drive means is also effective to automatically scram the control rod, in response to a predetermined neutron level in the reactor, independently of the operation of the electromechanical and hydraulic force producing means in the system. A schematic diagram of the system is presented. (N.W.R.)
