Description

The Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Control System has been designed to provide the operators with a reliable, safe and accurate means of controlling the plant. Manual and automatic positioning of control rods can be accomplished. The automatic plant controller has been designed to meet the design criteria under the representative CETR demanded load changes. Adaptability has been built into the plant controller by providing variable controller adjustments for variations in reactor characteristics. Extensive analog studies have been made of the various plant parameters and their effect on control was carefully evaluated. These analog studies have shown that the control system … continued below

Adaptability has been built into the plant controller by providing variable controller adjustments for variations in reactor characteristics. Extensive analog studies have been made of the various plant parameters and their effect on control was carefully evaluated. These analog studies have shown that the control system will perform in a satisfactory manner under the most adverse plant conditions.
