Abstract

The invention discloses a modularized control rod driving system and a modularized control rod driving method for a horizontal reactor core structure. The invention provides the modularized control rod driving system which is used for a research reactor of the horizontal reactor core structure and has a passive shutdown function; a ball screw-nut structure is used for accurately controlling the position and the movement speed of a control rod assembly and considers experiment functions of the research reactor. The system comprises a horizontal reactor core passive shutdown mechanism, a modularized control rod driving device and a control rod driving system rack, wherein the horizontal reactor core passive shutdown mechanism is used for driving the control rod assembly by a traction counter weight, a traction steel wire and a pulley block to rapidly and horizontally move to be inserted into a horizontal reactor core; the modularized control rod driving device is high in integration degree, simple and convenient to maintain and reliable in performance; the control rod driving system rack is used for determining the position of the modularized control rod driving device in the reactor core and the height of the traction counter weight.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear energy research, in particular to a zero-power and low-power research reactor control rod drive system adopting a horizontal core structure. Background technique [0002] In zero-power and low-power research reactors, it is necessary to ensure the safe operation of the reactor and to complete various neutronics experiments. In the experiment, it is required that the control rods can stay at the specified position, or move at the specified speed and direction with sufficient accuracy; when the reactor has an accident condition, it is required that the control rod assembly can be quickly inserted into the core within a certain period of time to complete the emergency shutdown. The stack, therefore, requires a dual-purpose control rod drive system for measurement and protection. For a reactor with a horizontal core structure, the control rod assembly cannot be directly inserted into the core by its own weight...
