Control Rods and reactivity management solutions - including CRDM - for plant in outage

Controlling reactivity with control rods, boron injections systems, or all system allowing to control neutron flux, is the first fundamental safety function of a reactor. Operators are willing for systems with neither failure, nor misfunctioning. Framatome as a nuclear steam supply system and fuel designer, developed a full set of systems for reactivity management. We propose all I&C systems dedicated to reactivity control, control rod drive mechanisms, flux mapping systems, applicable to all reactor designs.
