摘要： A pressurized water reactor (PWR) comprises a pressure vessel containing primary coolant water. A nuclear reactor core is disposed in the pressure vessel and includes a plurality of fuel assemblies. Each fuel assembly includes a plurality of fuel rods containing a fissile material. A control system includes a plurality of control rod assemblies (CRA's). Each CRA is guided by a corresponding CRA guide structure. A support element is disposed above the CRA guide structures and supports the CRA guide structures. The pressure vessel may be cylindrical, and the support element may comprise a support plate having a circular periphery supported by the cylindrical pressure vessel. The CRA guide structures suitably hang downward from the support plate. The lower end of each CRA guide structure may include alignment features that engage corresponding alignment features of the upper end of the corresponding fuel assembly.

摘要： A pressurized water nuclear reactor (PWR) includes a once through steam generator (OTSG) disposed in a generally cylindrical pressure vessel and a divider plate spaced apart from the open end of a central riser. A sealing portion of the pressure vessel and the divider plate define an integral pressurizer volume that is separated by the divider plate from the remaining interior volume of the pressure vessel. An internal control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) has all mechanical and electromagnetomotive components including at least a motor and a lead screw disposed inside the pressure vessel. Optionally CRDM units are staggered at two or more different levels such that no two neighboring CRDM units are at the same level. Internal primary coolant pumps have all mechanical and electromagnetomotive components including at least a motor and at least one impeller disposed inside the pressure vessel. Optionally, the pumps and/or CRDM are arranged below the OTSG

摘要： A pressurized water reactor (PWR) includes a pressure vessel containing a nuclear reactor core immersed in primary coolant water, control rod assemblies (CRA's), and control rod drive mechanisms (CRDM's) operating the CRA's. The reactor core has axially varying 235U enrichment and/or axially varying burnable poison concentration. A CRDM controller controls the CRA's over a burn-up cycle that does not include fuel assembly shuffling and is divided into a plurality of burn-up intervals. The CRDM controller is configured to, for each burn up interval: position the CRA's in accordance with a CRA pattern defining a set of fixed positions for the CRA's except for a sub-set of CRA's designated by the CRA pattern as floating CRA's, and control power level of the PWR by adjusting the floating CRA's without not adjusting the CRA's not designated as floating CRA's. The primary coolant water optionally does not contain soluble neutron poison.

摘要： A control strategy for a pressurized water nuclear reactor that employs separate, independent control rod banks for respectively controlling Tavg and axial offset within corresponding deadbands. The strategy does not permit the control banks controlling reactor core power and the control banks controlling axial offset to move together, but normally gives preference to the control banks controlling the Tavg except when a demand signal is received simultaneously by both independent control rod banks to move in a same direction, in which case, the control bank compensating for the axial offset is given preference.
摘要翻译：压力水核反应堆的控制策略采用独立的，独立的控制棒组，分别控制相应死区内的Tavg和轴向偏移。该策略不允许控制反应堆堆芯功率的控制组和控制轴偏移的控制组一起移动，但通常优先控制控制组件的控制组，除非同时由独立的控制棒组移动需求信号在相同的方向上，在这种情况下，给予偏置轴偏移的控制组。
