  • Patent number: 6333955
    Abstract: To reduce the manufacturing processes of a control rod and shorten the time required for manufacturing a control rod, for the lower part support member 7, the thin parts 11A and 11B are formed in the neighborhood of each of the left and right sides of the window 8. In the left and right sides of the pull-up handle 9, the grooves 17A and 17B are formed respectively. The groove 17B is deeper than the groove 17A. The thin part 11A is fitted into the groove 17A and the thin part 11B is fitted into the groove 17B. The gap formed between the end of the thin part 11B and the bottom of the groove 17B is larger than the gap formed between the end of the thin part 11A and the bottom of the groove 17A. Therefore, the thin part 11A can be simply fitted into the groove 17A.

  • Patent number: 6028906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control rod installed in a boiling water reactor (BWR), and particularly to a control rod using metal. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of a control rod for a boiling water reactor, having excellent corrosion resistance in high temperature water and excellent wear resistance at the time of fabrication, and in which the influence of the manufacturing process is slight. In order to achieve the above described object, the present invention provides a manufacturing method of a control rod for a boiling water reactor constructed with sheaths having a U-shaped cross section attached to each end of a tie rod having a cruciform cross section, and rod, plate or oval tube cross section metal hafnium type neutron absorber material contained inside the sheaths, in which an anodized film is provided on a surface of the neutron absorber material as a pre-process of assembly of the neutron absorber material in the structure of the control rod.

  • Patent number: 4824633
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a reactor refuelling machine including a plurality of grippers comprised of a plurality of telescopic bars which are telescopically actuatable independently of each other and at least one gripping member mounted to each telescopic bar. A decision is made as to whether the movement of a particular gripper in the Z direction is constrained by a status of the movement of a different gripper. The parallel operation is performed when the movement of the particular gripper in the Z direction is not constrained and when constrained, the particular gripper is placed in condition for waiting.
