The present invention relates to a nuclear reactor control rod suitable for ensuring the safety of a nuclear power plant. A control rod for a nuclear reactor has blades 1 arranged in a cross shape along the axial direction as shown in FIG. 1, and a hole 3 provided in the upper handle 2 as shown in FIG. A guide roller 4 is supported by a pin 5. A lower handle 6 is connected to the lower part of the blade 1, and a limit roller 7 is provided below the handle 6, and the limit roller 7 is supported by a pin 8 as shown in FIG. In addition, in the figure, 9 indicates a notch, 10 indicates a socket, and 11 indicates a nuclear fuel assembly. FIG. A top view, and figure c is a bottom view of figure b. Therefore, when driving the control rods during starting and stopping of a nuclear reactor, normal output control, and even stopping and returning in an emergency, the guide roller 4 and limit roller 7 are prevented from rotating and the stop pins 5, 8 and fuel assembly are driven. Frictional wear occurs between the side surface of the body 11 and the guide tube of the control rod drive mechanism. By the way, an alloy called stellite, which contains about 50% cobalt, is generally used for parts that require such wear resistance, but when used in nuclear power plants, the products of friction wear also contain cobalt. When used in a nuclear reactor, neutron irradiation turns cobalt-60 into a radiation source, increasing the radiation dose in a nuclear power plant. These accumulated radiation sources increase the amount of radiation that workers are exposed to during periodic inspections of nuclear power plants, which in turn reduces the operating rate of the plants. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and
Control rod guide roller 4 and limiter roller 7
The object of the present invention is to provide a control rod that can reduce the radiation dose of a nuclear power plant by using a wear-resistant nickel-based alloy for the rollers and a wear-resistant iron-based alloy for the retaining pins 5 and 8 of both rollers. That is, the present invention contains 30 to 40% chromium by weight,
The guide roller 4 and the limit roller 7 are made of an alloy in which the balance is substantially nickel with 2 to 4% aluminum, and 0.1% carbon by weight.
Below, chromium 16-26%, manganese 5.5-15%, nickel 5.5-15%, silicon 0.4-5%, nitrogen 0.05-
This control rod is characterized in that it is equipped with guide roller and limit roller retaining pins 5 and 8 made of an alloy consisting essentially of 0.6% iron and the remainder iron. Note that replacing a portion of aluminum with titanium in the alloy constituting the guide roller 4 and limit roller 7 and adding a small amount of molybdenum do not impede the effects of the present invention. Here, the reason for limiting the chemical composition of the alloy constituting the guide roller and limiter roller of the nuclear reactor control rod according to the present invention will be explained. Chromium is an element necessary to increase wear resistance, and its amount is 30%
If it is less than 40%, sufficient wear resistance cannot be obtained.
This range was chosen because forging becomes difficult if it exceeds this range. Aluminum is an element necessary to improve wear resistance, and if the amount is less than 2%, sufficient wear resistance cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 4%, it becomes difficult to forge like chromium, so it should not be within this range. do. Furthermore, the reason for limiting the chemical composition of the alloy constituting the guide roller and limiter roller fixing pin will be explained. Carbon stabilizes the austenite in this steel, but if it exceeds 0.1%, it will precipitate as carbides and cause stress corrosion cracking, so it should be kept at 0.1% or less. Chromium is an element necessary to improve corrosion resistance and tensile strength, and if it is less than 16%, the effect is not sufficient26
%, the stability of the austenite phase will be lost and hot workability will deteriorate, so it is set within this range.
Manganese is an element necessary to improve wear resistance.
If it is less than 5.5%, the effect will not be sufficient, and if it exceeds 15%, corrosion resistance will be impaired, so this range was set. Nickel is an element necessary to stabilize austenite, and if it is less than 5.5%, ferrite is formed and corrosion resistance is lost. If it exceeds 15%, the solubility of carbon will be significantly lowered, resulting in the precipitation of a large amount of carbide, which will cause stress corrosion cracking, so it is set within this range. Silicon is an element necessary as a deoxidizing agent, and if it is less than 0.4%, its effect will not be sufficient, and if it exceeds 5%, ferrite will be formed and corrosion resistance will be impaired, so it should be in this range. Nitrogen is an element necessary to stabilize austenite and improve its tensile strength.If it is less than 0.05%, its effect is insufficient, and if it exceeds 0.6%, it tends to gasify during alloy melting and welding, resulting in porous parts. range. Next, the guide roller 4, limiter roller 7, and stopper pins 5, 8 will be explained using examples and comparative examples. An alloy having the chemical composition shown in Table 1 was melted by high frequency induction melting. This alloy was forged and heat treated to produce wear test pieces.

It is superior to the alloys shown in 1 to 1-3 and 2-1 to 2-4, is equivalent to or better than the cobalt-based wear-resistant alloys of Comparative Examples 1-4 and 2-5, and does not contain cobalt. The products produced by frictional wear and tear when driving the control rods do not contain cobalt, and when used in a nuclear reactor, they do not increase the radiation dose of cobalt-60, which is generated when cobalt is activated. As described above, the control rod according to the present invention is extremely useful for improving the safety of workers in nuclear power plants and the plant operating rate.
