  • Patent number: 10636531
    Abstract: Provided is an installation structure for installing control rod drive mechanisms and cable sealing units in a nuclear reactor pressure vessel. The installation structure includes: a sealing flange having a ring shape and being hermetically coupled to an upper pressure vessel and a lower pressure vessel of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel; a cylindrical tube extending downward vertically from an internal edge of the sealing flange; and a support plate provided horizontally to block a lower end portion of the cylindrical tube. A plurality of mounting holes that penetrate through the sealing flange horizontally are arranged in the sealing flange with a predetermined interval therebetween along a circumferential direction, the cable sealing units are inserted and mounted in the plurality of mounting holes, and the control rod drive mechanisms are installed on the support plate to be supported.

  • Patent number: 10304571
    Abstract: A magnetic jack type in-vessel control element drive mechanism includes: an upper coil assembly which includes a first sleeve configured to coaxially wrap a control element drive shaft, a first coil, and a first coil housing which is externally coupled to the first sleeve; a lower coil assembly which includes a second sleeve configured to coaxially wrap the control element drive shaft, a second coil, and a second coil housing which is externally coupled to the second sleeve, wherein the lower coil assembly is located under the upper coil assembly, a connecting member which connects the upper coil assembly and the lower coil assembly; a support tube which extends downward from the lower coil assembly; a motor assembly which is located between the control element drive shaft, and the first and second sleeves; and an anti-separation cap which prevents separation of the motor assembly.

  • Patent number: 9711245
    Abstract: A magnetic jack type control element drive mechanism for precision position control of a control element assembly, satisfies the following conditions: D1=D2=P+D5; D3=P×2; D4=D3×(N?½), (N is an arbitrary natural number), wherein D1 represents a lift gap of the upper motor assembly; D2 represents a lift gap of the lower motor assembly; D3 represents a space width between tips of adjacent teeth of the drive shaft; D4 represents a gap between an upper latch and a lower latch; P represents pitch that is a distance of ascent or descent of the drive shaft; and D5 represents a margin which is a separation space between the teeth and the upper latch or the lower latch when the upper latch or the lower latch is inserted into the teeth of the drive shaft.
