Abstract: Disclosed are an in-vessel control rod drive mechanism and a nuclear reactor with the same. The in-vessel control rod drive mechanism includes a control rod drive mechanism for regulating and a control rod drive mechanism for shutdown provided at an upper or lower space of a reactor core to insert or withdraw a regulating rod and a shutdown rod into/from the reactor core based on an operation state of the nuclear reactor, wherein the control rod drive mechanism for regulating and the control rod drive mechanism for shutdown are alternately arranged in the vertical direction. Therefore, a space of containment can be minimized due to the installation of the in-vessel control rod drive mechanism, and thus a rod ejection accident can be prevented, and a loss-of-coolant accident can be reduced.
