Experimental determination of Diverse Safety Rod (DSR) drop-time using ultrasonic pulse-echo technique
- 1. Instrumentation Development Section, Engineering Development Group, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam (India)
Description
It is desirable to measure on-line the drop-time of Diverse Safety Rod (DSR) in PFBR reactor. It has not been found to be feasible to use ultrasonic (US) high temperature sodium immersible transducer for the above purpose based on pulse-echo technique. However, it is planned to measure the drop-time value 'out-of-pile' in an experimental sodium rig. This paper describes the experiment carried out for measuring the drop- time in water during DSRDM test in air. It is proposed to employ the same method for measuring in a sodium test rig. (author)
