Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the soundness of the control rod by coupling control rod elements by a spine at their center part, connecting the upper end of the spine to the titled device suspended by a wire rope, and providing a buffer mechanism between the wire rope and spine. CONSTITUTION:The control rod elements 1... are coupled by the spine 2 in a longitudinal axis direction and the upper end of the spine 2 is suspended by the wire rope 4 through a metallic coupler 3 and a spring 18. Then when a nuclear reactor is stopped urgently, the rope 4 is fed out to fall the elements 1... in a reactor core and the feeding of the rope 4 is stopped when the elements 1... reach a specific position. At this time, an impact force of about 5kg is applied to the rope 4, spine 2, etc., but reduced by the spring 18, so the safety of the nuclear reactor is increased.
