Description

The control rod has important functions such as reactor power control and emergency reactor shutdown. In this study, the structure, design criteria, design evaluation method, and design evaluation results of control rod are presented. The structure, design criteria, design evaluation method, and design evaluation results of control rod for SFR with metallic fuel were presented. The thermal design is to maintain the soundness of the B4C pellet at high temperature. Thermal design evaluation result showed that the centerline temperature of the B4C pellet met the design limit temperature of 2,350 C. The mechanical design evaluation considering ACMI showed that ACMI design life of control rod was estimated to be 85x1026 cap/m3.
