Displacer rod for use in a mechanical spectral shift reactor

Creators

Description

A displacer rod for use in a mechanical spectral shift pressurized water nuclear reactor comprises a sectioned substantially hollow low neutron absorbing metal rod capable of displacing reactor coolant without absorbing a high amount of neutrons. The tubular sections preferably consist of stainless steel and Zircaloy tubing interconnected by a solid Zircaloy metal rod and may contain pellets for weighting the displacer rod. (author)
