Redundant reactivity control system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5611635
A reactivity control system is described for a nuclear reactor, consisting of: sensors for monitoring critical reactor operating parameters and for sensing conditions indicative of an anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) event; means for monitoring average reactor power range; a timer, defining a reactor interval during which monitored average power range must settle within a selected safe reactor operation limit; means for actuating reactor safety systems in response to a sensed ATWS event; and means for indicating needed operation of a reactor standby safety system at the end of the timer reactor interval when the monitored average power range has not settled within the selected safe reactor operation limit in response to actuation of the reactor safety systems.
