Drop performance test of conceptually designed control rod assembly for prototype generation iv sodium-cooled fast reactorThe control rod assembly controls reactor power by adjusting its position during normal operation and shuts down chain reactions by its free drop under scram conditions....
Influence of design modification of control rod assembly for prototype generation iv sodium-cooled fast reactor on drop performanceThis paper presents the drop performance test of the control rod assembly which is one of the main components strongly related to the safety of the prototype generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor....
Feasibility study for evaluation of control rod worth in pressurized water reactors using neutron count rate during a control rod drop testing... Following the feasibility verification in the previous study based on numerical analyses, its applicability has been proven in a more realistic situation; in a withdrawal sequence of control rod banks during the PWR startup....
Control rod homogenization in heterogeneous sodium-cooled fast reactors...reactor.This thesis focuses on the accurate modeling of the control rods, through thehomogenization method....
