Nuclear Control Rods Market by Nuclear Plant Type (pressurized water reactor, boiling water reactor, advanced gas cooled reactors, and advanced reactors), by assembly forms (cluster, and cruciform) - Global Trends and Forecasts to 2019
This report estimates the Nuclear control rods market in terms of revenue ($Millions). This has been broken down into component regions and is further split into countries.
Control rods are an important technology for maintaining the desired state of fission reactions within a nuclear reactor. They constitute a real-time control of the fission process, which is crucial for both keeping the fission chain reaction active and preventing it from accelerating beyond control.
The nuclear fission chain reaction is the fundamental process by which nuclear reactors produce usable energy. Most commonly, Uranium U-235 is the fissionable material used in this chain reaction. In this process, a U-235 atom is struck by an incident neutron, causing the atom to fission into two smaller atoms (Krypton K-92 and Barium B-141) and also release an average of 2.5 new neutrons. These new neutrons can then collide into more U-235 atoms, which undergo the same fission process, creating a chain reaction that releases substantial energy with each fission event.
Therefore, the key to sustaining the fission chain reaction is the amount of neutrons that propagate to the next generation of fissions. However, not all of the fission-produced neutrons trigger another fission event (some may simply escape the reactor or be absorbed by non-fissile isotopes, for example), so it is necessary to carefully engineer every parameter of the reactor to ensure that at least one neutron from each fission event is able to trigger another fission. Controls rods are one such adjustable parameter.
The methodology has used secondary sources such as encyclopedias, directories, and databases to identify and collect information that was useful for this extensive commercial study of the global Switchgears. The primary sources such as experts and suppliers from the industry have all been interviewed to obtain and verify critical information, as well as to assess the future prospects of this market.
