  • Abstract
    THE OPERATION of heterogeneous atomic reactors depends upon a number of control rods, which are lifted in and out of the reactor so as to control the flow of neutrons. At present, these rods are driven by slow-speed reluctance motors operating at speeds between 5 and 15 rpm, producing torques between 3 and 25 foot-pounds.
