Sentence examples for control rod ejection from inspiring English sources

If a control rod ejection accident happened at low power, the EPR's automatic shutdown mechanism could fail to operate, it indicated.

Control rods, as the name suggests, regulate the nuclear reaction in the reactor vessel, and a control rod ejection accident has a domino effect, causing parts of the reactor to overheat.

Yet, among the leaked documents, one dated February 2007 — just before the construction of the Flamanville plant was approved — reported that technical studies by EDF had shown that the EPR's original core design had failed to meet safety criteria for a control rod ejection accident at high power.

One RIA accident, control rod ejection is a design basis accident for LWRs.

After the code modification, three accident scenarios with control rod ejection are simulated.

The control rod ejection due to coolant pressure is prevented using in-vessel type control rod driving mechanism.

In addition to these transients extreme scenarios were defined for better testing 3-D neutronics/thermal-hydraulics coupling: rod ejection simulation with control rod being ejected in the core sector cooled by the switched on MCP (Phase 1) and MSLB transient (Phase 2).

This study is part of an overall program to understand the uncertainty in best-estimate calculations of the local fuel enthalpy during the rod ejection accident.

Control rod calibrations were reproduced in N94 and N136 cores.

The response to a rod ejection accident (REA) is significantly worse than in conventional PWRs due to a lower delayed neutron fraction, but fuel enthalpy deposition limits can be satisfied.
