Abstract
897,455. Controlling reactors. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. April 7, 1960 [April 17, 1959], No. 13261/59. Class 39(4). In a device for shutting down a reactor by dropping a number of strongly neutronabsorbing bodies into a vertical tube in the reactor core, the bodies are normally contained in a magazine closed by a movable member connected to a retaining member by a mechanical pressure-sensitive device in such a way that the movable member can be displaced to release the bodies either by movement of the retaining member or by a dimensional change in the pressure-sensitive device caused by a change in the ambient pressure. A sleeve 29 can be lowered to align ports 20 and 32 by release of an armature 24 from an electromagnet or by expansion of a bellows 30 caused by a sudden drop in reactor coolant pressure, thus letting boron steel balls 5 drop into a tube 16. A bleed hole in the bellows allows for gradual pressure changes. The armature can act directly on the sleeve through rods 42, and a stop 43 is provided. The magazine is recharged by raising the tube 16 until the balls drop back through ports 19 and 15; these ports are in practice offset 90 degrees from ports 20, 32. Specifications 857,432 and 897,456 are referred to.
