Abstract:
To preclude failure of components of control-rod assemblies or of unprotected control rods (WDRC's) a calandria is provided above the upper internals. The calandria includes hollow tubes through which the drive rods for the various control rods pass and which protect the drive rods. The guides for the control rods are closed except at the top so that the coolant flows vertically through the guides into the calandria. In the calandria, the coolant flows transversely to the hollow tubes and out through the outlet nozzle. The tubes have a mass and stiffness and strength such that they resist failure by reason of the transverse flow of the coolant to which they are subjected.
