Control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) with remote disconnect mechanism
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1771665
The drive assembly includes annular drive magnets extending around a top end of a drive shaft and annular drive coils extending around the drive magnets, separated by a pressure boundary. A latch assembly is coupled to the drive magnets and engages with the drive shaft in response to actuation of the drive assembly. The drive coils also rotate the drive magnets and the engaged latch assembly to axially displace the drive shaft. Deactivating the drive coils disengages the latch assembly from the drive shaft, dropping a connected control rod assembly via gravity into a nuclear fuel assembly.
