    摘要: A method of operating a pressurized water nuclear reactor comprising determining the present core power and reactivity levels and predicting the change in such levels due to displacer rod movements. Groups or single clusters of displacer rods can be inserted or withdrawn based on the predicted core power and reactivity levels to change the core power level and power distribution thereby providing load follow capability, without changing control rod positions or coolant boron concentrations.

    摘要: A technique is provided for engaging and disengaging burnable poison rods from the spider in a fuel assembly. The cap on the end of each of the burnable poison rods is provided with a shank that is received in the respective bore formed in the spider. In one illustrative embodiment, the shank is deformed to firmly secure the rod and attached shank in the spider bore. Pressing the shank in the direction of the bore axis overcomes the deformation to release the particular rod from the spider.

    摘要: In a nuclear reactor of the BWR type having finger control rods mounted in guide tubes and having a member movable upwardly to push the control rods into the guide tubes, the control rods are connected to this member by a joint such as a bayonet joint releasable by turning of the control rods about their longitudinal axis. On the upper ends of each control rod is slidably mounted a sleeve which is spring-pressed downwardly. This sleeve is non-rotatable with respect to the control rod. The sleeve has either a square lower end slidable within a square tube or has projections at its lower end in a round tube having ribs running longitudinally thereof. The arrangement is such that when the support is in its uppermost position the control rods project above the fuel assembly and the sleeve can be raised against the spring action out of the upper ends of the tubes so as to permit turning of the rods to release them for removal.

    摘要: A core module for nuclear reactors includes a core support grid having hollow tubes extending upwardly therefrom and fuel assemblies mounted on the upper ends of said tubes with their interiors in communication with the interiors of the tubes. There are a number of control rods around the periphery of each module which are connected by a single control rod yoke, the control rods being guided on the outsides of the core support tubes. The yoke is connected to the core rod drive.

    摘要: 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. A disconnect assembly includes a disconnect magnet coupled to the top end of a disconnect rod that extends through the drive shaft. Annular disconnect coils extend around the disconnect magnet, separated by a pressure boundary, to hold the disconnect magnet and the disconnect rod in a raised position to remotely disconnect from, or reconnect the drive shaft to, the control rod assembly.

    摘要: A control rod guide frame comprises a self supporting stack of two or more columnar elements defining a central passage. The columnar elements may include mating features that mate at abutments between adjacent columnar elements of the stack. The control rod guide frame is suitably used in conjunction with a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) operatively connected with at least one control rod, and a nuclear reactor core, in which the CRDM moves the at least one control rod into and out of the nuclear reactor core under guidance of the control rod guide frame. In another embodiment, a control rod guide frame comprises a stack of two or more columnar elements defining a central passage having a constant cross-section as a function of position along the central passage. In another embodiment, a control rod guide frame comprises an extruded columnar element providing continuous control rod guidance.
