Abstract

This paper deals with the design and manufacturing of power cabinet for reactor power control system(PCS). The PCS provides the control signals and motive power to operate the CEDMs(Control Element Drive Mechanism). The CEDM is raise and lower the CEAs(Control Element Assemblies) in the reactor core. The CEAs are constructed with the Boron-10 isotope which has a high microscopic cross section of absorption for thermal neutrons. This characteristic causes the addition of negative reactivity when a CEA is inserted and positive reactivity when it is withdrawn from the reactor core.
