Description
This study is focalized on a control mean research for a 900 MWe PWR loaded only with mixed oxyde assemblies. The reactivity balances induce temperature limits not to go under for various control modes (black and grey). This study stage leads to the imperative need to conceive very efficient rods. Only B4C seems to satisfy these control conditions. So different absorber rod geometries and compositions are examined more precisely. The materials considered are, on one hand for the rod core, the usual AIC, Hafnium and enriched high density B4C; on the other hand for the clad, SS304 steel and Hafnium
