Kontrollilembus

Kontrollilembus refers to a type of control rod used in pressurized water reactors as a method of controlling nuclear fission. It is a long, thin rod made of a neutron-absorbing material, typically composed of boron or boron carbide. The rod is inserted into the reactor core to control the reaction rate by absorbing excess neutrons and reducing the rate of fission.

typically controlled by motorized mechanisms, can also be used as a manual control device in some systems. The use of a kontrollilembus is typically seen as a primary control method, with the rod entering the reactor core through specialized guides to minimize reactivity insertions upon insertion. This type of control rod is often used in conjunction with other control mechanisms, such as speed regulators, to maintain a stable power output.

One of the significant advantages of a kontrollilembus control system is its ability to provide fine-grained control over the reaction rate. By adjusting the position of the rod within the core, operators can rapidly make adjustments to power output to meet changing energy demands. However, the use of kontrollilembus also presents unique challenges, as the precise positioning of the rod can be sensitive to reactor conditions.

operators are extensively trained to properly operate kontrollilembus in adherence to strict safety protocols to compensate for the potential consequences of improper control. Plug control rods, which move in pairs, are often used in conjunction with or as an alternative method of control in some applications.
