In this paper we describe a prototype Control Rod Control System(CRCS). The CRCS controls the motion of the full length rod drive mechanisms in response to signals from the Reactor Operator and the Reactor Control System. Each mechanism belongs to either Shutdown Banks or Control Banks. The CRCS also provides information regarding the rod motion, rod position, and the status of the Rod Control System. The prototype CRCS will be used to obtain the requirements for detailed design of a full-scale CRCS.

In this paper, we propose a new model with the common Control Rod Control System which can be applied to both Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant model and Westinghouse model. The common model classified by one control rod assembly can solve the common-mode failure. We digitalize the new model and make existing analog models simplified.

This paper describes the finite element analysis(FEA) for the design of electromagnet for Control Element Drive Mechanism(CEDM) in System-integrated Modular Advanced Reactor(SMART) and compared with the lifting power characteristics of prototype electromagnet. A thermal analysis was performed for the electromagnet. A model for the thermal analysis of the electromagnet was developed and theoretical bases for the model were established. It is important that the temperature of the electromagnet windings be maintained within the allowable limit of the insulation. since the electromagnet of CEDM is always supplied with current during the reactor operation. So the thermal analysis of the winding insulation which is composed of polyimide and air were performed by finite element method. As a result, it is shown that the characteristics of prototype electromagnet have a good agreement with the results of FEA. The thermal properties obtained here will be used as input for the optimization analysis of the electromagnet.

In the System-integrated modular advanced reactor(SMART), the motor for Control element drive mechanism(CEDM) requires high density power and simple drive mechanism to reduce volume because of restriction by install-space and must satisfy the reactor operating circumstances with high pressure and temperature. To Maximize the characteristics of the TFM, we chose the asymmetric bridge converter as the driving system for TFM. Because two switching devices are connected in series with the stator winding of each phases in the asymmetric bridge converter all the phases are not affected by another phase but controlled independently. Also, this converter has many advantages that the various control methods can be adopted, it is easy to control, and that in case that the switching devices of a phase are damaged, the affects can be minimized.

This paper deals with the design, implementation, and test of a CRCS for nuclear power plants. Although CRCS is still classified into non-safety class, much attention on its reliability issue has been given so far because of its importance for the stable operation of the reactor in the plant. In terms of technical aspects, our system adopts a full-duplex configuration to enhance reliability in contrast to the existing systems that are all simplex.

Digital technologies are required to reduce to events due to human fails clarified existing nuclear power plant. When we are trying to retrofit control rod control system from analog system to digital one, new communication network and controller is required to be constructed. In this paper, we are going to introduce experience in developing economic and reliable control rod control system construction. this proposed system consists of redundant POS, communication network, and controller to provide enhance reliability and safety.

An advanced angular position detector (APD) for the SMART CEDM (control element drive mechanism) was designed. The APD is required to be small size with high resolution for angular displacement of rotary step motor. Unfortunately the proximity sensors can not be adopted to SMART CEDM because the motor shaft is located in the pressure boundary cylinder filled with the primary coolant under high temperature and pressure. This paper describes the electromagnetic finite element analysis for the design of advanced angular position detector for the SMART CEDM. The electromagnetic properties obtained will be used as Input for the optimization analysis of the APD.

This paper proposes a detection method for mechanically stuck control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) faults. During the normal operation of a CRDM, disturbance voltage is induced due to the change of the airgap flux between the stator and the armature of a CRDM. This disturbance voltage is estimated by using $H_\infty$ filtering method, and generalized plant is used in linear fractional transform (LFT) framework. $H_\infty$ filtering is described and solved in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation results are shown.

This paper introduces the design method of a Control Rod Drive Mechanism that consists of 3 coils -lift, movable gripper and stationary gripper coil. The vertical attraction forces of the lift, movable gripper, and stationary gripper armatures are calculated by FEM, then the dynamics with full load is demonstrated.
