Types of Control Rods
There are several ways to classify the types of control rods. One classification method is by the purpose of the control rods. Three purposes of control rods are listed below.
Shim rods - used for coarse control and/or to remove reactivity in relatively large amounts.
Regulating rods - used for fine adjustments and to maintain desired power or temperature.
Safety rods - provide a means for very fast shutdown in the event of an unsafe condition.
Addition of a large amount of negative reactivity by rapidly inserting the safety rods is referred to as a "scram" or "trip."
Not all reactors have different control rods to serve the purposes mentioned above. Depending upon the type of reactor and the controls necessary, it is possible to use dual-purpose or even triple-purpose rods. For example, consider a set of control rods that can insert enough reactivity to be used as shim rods. If the same rods can be operated at slow speeds, they will function as regulating rods. Additionally, these same rods can be designed for rapid insertion, or scram. These rods serve a triple function yet meet other specifications such as precise control, range of control, and efficiency.
