“Liquid control rods” is a fully passive boron free
system design to perform an adequate control of reactivity during all
operational states on any light water reactors (LWR) including : |
| |
| -
Emergency Shutdown from full power to cold Shutdown, continuous nuclear
power variation from 0 to 100% and 100% to 0. |
| |
| - Long
term reactivity control, without any poison in fuel within UO2 or PuO2
or spectral shift fuel. |
| |
| - Short
term reactivity control, if needed, to permanently adjust the power of
the reactor. |
| |
| - Long
fuel burning cycle. |
| |
| Neutron
absorbers are pushed in the channels rods or flushed back in tanks by
pressurized helium. |
| MP98
“Liquid control rods” is design to perform an
adequate control of reactivity during all operational states. |
| It
shape neutron flux at any power in 3D. |
| MP98
“Liquid control rods” is design for assembly from
15X15 to 21X21 |
| for
Uo2, Pu, and Spectral Shift fuel without any change inside reactor
vessel. |
| MP98
“Liquid control rods” power control is homogeneous
and has many redundancies. |
| MP98
“Liquid control rods” is an evolution from used
technology and any materials chosen or physical |
| principles
are well known in the nuclear field and do not required new technology
development. Fuel |
| design
could be saved. |

“Liquid control rods” system is designed to any
reactor type. |
| |
| MP98’
“Liquid control rods”system could used UO2 fuel,
MOX fuel and spectral shift fuel... |
| |
| MP98
“Liquid control rods” is suitable for fuel from
15x15 to 21x21 |

compagny, modulation of power for nuclear reactor, is developping a new
passive power control system. |
| |
| MP98
technlogy is world patented. |
| |
| MP98
liquid control rods project is prizewinner of french research minister
in 2002 and 2003. |
| |
| MP98
system had been successfully assessed in 2002, by experts from EDF,
CEA, Framatome-ANP, and westinghouse science and energy department. |
| |
| MP98
system is design for US DOE requirements in "generation IV" program
such enhanced safety, improved economics and fuel cycle sustainability. |
| |
| MP98'
team is ready to adapt this technology to any kind of light water
reactors, PWR, BWR and compact reactors. |
