    Nuclear Reactor Rods Position Control System
    (National Aviation University, 2023-06-23) Suprunets, Roman; Супрунець, Роман Петрович
    The discovery of nuclear fusion in December 1938 by chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman was a sign of epochal significance because it opened for humanity new sources of internal energy. It was an important discovery in the first path of the XX century because the World population is growing, as is energy consumption, so fossil fuels could be exhausted by 2050[1]. So the next step was development a such system which can provide safety transformation of the heat energy from fission reaction into electrical. The first usage attempt of nuclear energy was the Manhattan Project 1942–1946, initiated during World War II, brought together leading scientists to develop the first atomic bomb and marked a significant turning point in nuclear research The Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1), built under Fermi's leadership, achieved the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in 1942, demonstrating the feasibility of sustained nuclear reactions.The Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I), constructed in Idaho in 1951, became the first nuclear reactor to produce electricity. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station, operational in 1957, marked the transition from experimental reactors to commercial-scale nuclear power production. Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) became the dominant designs for commercial nuclear power plants, offering enhanced safety and efficiency. Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBR) were developed to utilize plutonium more effectively and achieve sustainable nuclear fuel cycles. High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) utilized helium as a coolant, enabling higher operating temperatures and potential applications such as hydrogen production and process heat. Nuclear power plants (NPPs) produce about 53% of the country's electricity. Totally there are four nuclear power plants in Ukraine: Zaporizhzhya, Rivne, South Ukraine, and Khmelnitsky, with 13 power units of WWER-1000 type (water-water energetic reactor) and two power units of PWR-440 type with a total capacity of 13880.
