Abstract: A control rod assembly including at least one movable control rod including a neutron absorbing material, a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) for controlling movement of the at least one control rod, and a coupling operatively connecting the at least one control rod and the CRDM. The coupling includes a terminal element engaged with a connecting rod of the CRDM and the at least one moveable control rod, and a kinetic energy absorbing element supported by the terminal element for absorbing kinetic energy during a SCRAM event, the kinetic energy absorbing element configured to act between the terminal element and an upper plate of an associated fuel assembly.
