| titleOfInvention | Control rod |
| abstract | An apparatus and process for control rod assembly and construction for a nuclear reactor is disclosed wherein the control rod is of cruciform configuration having a plurality of and preferably four flat planar members. Each planar member is made up with an assembly of square cross sectioned tubular members. Each square cross sectioned tubular member includes a defined cylindrical center and a constant thickness surrounding tubular metallic shell to provide the contained neutron absorbing materials in a cylindrically shaped pressure vessel. The constant thickness surrounding tubular shell constituting the cylindrical shaped pressure vessel has four corner sections added to generate a modified square exterior profile. These added four corner sections comprise an addition to the tubular side wall thickness of the shell. Appropriate chamfers and rounding are provided to the square profile to impart both stress relief and convenient points for automated welding between side-by-side square sections. The square cross sectioned tubular members when welded together extend axially and longitudinally the length of the control rod in the direction of control rod movement and fluid flow. The square cross sectioned tubular members are filled with a neutron absorbing material, plugged at both ends, and fastened by welding in side-by-side relation to form the planar control rod members of the required cruciform shape. These square cross sectioned tubular members as welded in side-by-side relation are an integral portion of the longitudinal support structure of the control rod and fasten and interconnect the handle at the top of the control rod and a conventional velocity limiting device at the bottom of the control rod. The fastening of the handles and velocity limiting device at the respective top and bottom provides a secondary and supplemental seal to primary plugs containing the neutron absorbing material. If needed for enhanced life, provision is made for the incorporation of a hafnium plate in a rectangular sectioned tube adjacent the handle at upper end of the control rod, this tip being variable in length dependent upon individual control rod requirements. Thus square sectioned tubular members form an improved poison containing cylindrical volume for providing resultant improved control rod worth and increased in service life time in moderating and shutting down nuclear reactions. Consequently, the disclosed construction can be used both for conventional control rods as well as for control rod configured for control cell locations. |
