CONTROL ROD ABLE TO OFFER RESISTANCE TO INFLUENCES DETRIMENTAL TO NUCLEAR REACTORS AND ITS MODE OF MANUFACTURE
The mode of manufacture of the control rods consists essentially in sintering billets from finely divided parti cles, each particle being individually covered with a layer of metal oxide. The said particles are constituted by an alloy composed essentially of (in weight per cent) from 65 to 85% silver, from 2 to 20% indium, from 0 to 10% cadmium, from 0 to 5% tin and from 0 to 1.5% aluminum; the atom fractions X, Y, Z, W and V of the silver, cadmium, indium, aluminum and tin respectively follow the equation: X + 2Y + 3Z + 3W + 4V = 1.4. The particles made from this alloy may be prepared by disintegration of the molten alloy with a jet of cold water. The particles formed in this way are covered with a layer of oxide of the alloy metals. (NPO)
