    摘要: A high resolution digital rod position indication (high resolution DRPI) system having improved resolution. The high resolution DRPI system monitors the rod control cluster and provides an indication of the rod position with precision to a single step. In addition, the high resolution DRPI system is capable of producing a rod position output compatible with existing rod control systems. The improved resolution of the high resolution DRPI system allows the actual position of the control rods to be continuously monitored and eliminates the need for or reduces the frequency of offline re-initialization of the step counters.

    摘要: Compliance with administrative limits on cumulative exposure of control rod groups in the reactor core, is monitored by computing the incremental effective exposure for each group commensurate with core power, for each time increment at which each group is within the position range where an administrative limit is imposed. The increments of effective exposures for each group are accumulated, and the accumulated effective exposure for each group is compared with the administrative limit to each group. This comparison is then displayed to the reactor operator, preferably using either a "rolling wheel" or "sliding bar" format.

    摘要: A hydraulic control rod drive for a nuclear reactor, with a a reactor plenum enclosing the drive, comprises first and second hollow bodies together forming a cylinder and a hollow piston. Working fluid is supplied through one of the hollow bodies. The first hollow body is stationary and the second hollow body is disposed coaxially around the first hollow body. The two hollow bodies define an annular gap therebetween so as to allow axial reciprocating movement of the second hollow body, which forms a carrier body for control elements of the control rod. The second hollow body can be lifted, lowered or suspended by feeding working fluid. A portion of the fluid is removed from the inner space via a throttle passage. A positional measurement system determines the relative displacement of the second hollow body by measuring an ultrasonic measurement path. The system includes an ultrasound reflector and an ultrasonic transducer rigidly mounted remote from the ultrasound reflector. Provisions are made for venting the inner space through venting channels which open into the reactor plenum at a security distance from the measurement path so as not to adversely affect the ultrasonic measurement.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus making it possible to measure the position of a moving bar in a non-magnetic guidance enclosure. The bar carries a permanent magnet, whose position is detected by at least one group of magnetometer transducers, arranged along a generatrix of the enclosure. The transducers of the same group are connected so as to form a matrix of n rows and p columns. The exciting windings of the transducers of the same row are connected in series and each row is supplied in turn by a multiplexing circuit. In the same way, the reading windings of the transducers of the same column are connected in parallel and each column is scanned in turn by a multiplexing circuit.
