US swaps nuclear rods for ultra-precise control drums in new reactors
Idaho National Laboratory researchers have built the first microreactor control system in decades, replacing the traditional ...
For decades, light water reactors have used control rods to regulate the fission reaction that powers a nuclear plant. The rods move vertically in and out of the core and are made of mat. . .
The main function of the control rod guide tubes (CRGT) in a nuclear power plant is to ensure that the rod cluster control assembly drop (RCCA) meets safety requirements, stopping the chain reaction ...
