(Prior Art) A control rod for a nuclear reactor is constructed by loading a large number of neutron absorption rods into a plurality of wings formed by attaching an elongated U-shaped sheath to a central structural member. A neutron absorption rod consists of a stainless steel cladding tube filled with boron carbide (B 4 C) powder, and partition balls arranged at regular intervals inside the cladding tube to prevent powder movement.

The boron carbide in the neutron absorption rod absorbs neutrons and gradually loses its ability to absorb neutrons, and during this time boron 10 ( 10 B) reacts with the neutrons to generate helium (He) gas, increasing the pressure inside the cladding tube. let Here, the life determined by the neutron absorption capacity is called the nuclear life, and the life determined by the pipe gas pressure is called the mechanical life.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, control rods are not uniformly irradiated with neutrons; for example, the outer edges and upper ends of each wing receive intense neutron irradiation, and neutron absorption near these side edges Because the neutron absorbing material inside the rod absorbs a large amount of neutrons, it reaches its nuclear lifetime earlier than the rest of the neutron absorbing rod. As a result, the control rods had to be disposed of as radioactive waste, even though the other neutron absorption rods had sufficient nuclear life remaining.

In order to solve these problems, the present applicant previously disclosed a novel control rod in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 74697/1983. This control rod has neutron absorbers made of long-life neutron absorbers such as hafnium (Hf) and europium (Eu) placed on the side edges and tips of each wing, and in the vicinity thereof, and well-known boron carbide in other parts. By arranging filled neutron absorption rods, the lifespan is approximately twice as long as that of conventional control rods containing only neutron absorption rods filled with boron carbide. However, as long as the control rod includes boron carbide-filled control rods, it is difficult to achieve a longer life.
