Description

The present meetings report gives a survey on the state of development of absorbers of light-water reactors. Numerous materials, material combinations and geometrical configurations are for neutron-physical reasons possible for the various reactor concepts for control and shutdown. The technology is essentially established for LWRs, boron carbide and Ag-In-Cd have proved themselves as absorber material. The improvements are in the lines of cost reduction and disposal.

Abstract (German)

Der vorliegende Tagungsbericht gibt einen Ueberblick zum Entwicklungsstand fuer Absorber von Leichtwasserreaktoren. Aus neutronenphysikalischen Gruenden sind zahlreiche Werkstoffe, Werkstoffkombinationen und geometrische Konfigurationen fuer die verschiedenen Reaktorkonzepte zur Regelung und Abschaltung moeglich. Bei den LWR's ist die Technologie weitgehend etabliert, Borkarbid und Ag-In-Cd haben sich als Absorbermaterial bewaehrt. Verbesserungen gehen in Richtung Kostenreduktion und Entsorgung. (orig./RW)
