IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PLATES HAVING HIGH NEUTRON CAPTURE CROSS-SECTION CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL RODS INCLUDING SUCH PLATES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4840027
A method is given for manufacturing casing strips or plates of high neutron capture cross sections and suitable for use in reactor control systems. The method comprises drilling spaced holes in a metal strip, filling the holes with high neutron absorbing material, closing off the holes with plugs, and rolling the plate to form the final product. The product may be joined to form a control rod of cruciform cross section. (D.L.C.)
