Description

Hydraulic control rod drive system (HCRDS) is a new device of control rod drive which is different from usual electric-magnetic mechanic drive used for water power nuclear reactor. The coolant(water) is used as actuating medium, pumped by canned-pump, then injected into hydraulic step cylinders which are set in the reactor vessel. The outer tube of the step cylinder will be moving step by step by controling of the flow, driving the neutron absorber. 5MW THR is the first reactor in the world in which the hydraulic step drive system was used. Using of the drive system is for getting better safety, reliability and lower cost. In this paper, the design and experimental research of the system are introduced
