 The intended purpose of the Control Rod Drives is start-up,

adjustment of power capacity and shutdown of the reactor by
means of insertion or withdrawal of the Control Rods into/from the
reactor core.
 CPS Drive SHEM-3 is the Control Rod Drive used in the design of
NPP "Hanhikivi-1" – developed by OKB GIDROPRESS.
 Control of the CPS Drives SHEM-3 and control of position of the
RCCA in the reactor core are performed by the instrumentation
and control (I&C).

PPI indicator is a leak-tight cylindrical structure in the

shape of a tube of variable cross-section with inductive coils
located in the bottom part.

PPI indicators and units of electromagnets of CPS drives

SHEM-3 are connected with I&C by the electrical
connectors, CPS stubs and electrical cables.

PPI The signals from all the indicator
coils are picked up simultaneously
and magnetic circuits of one or
several coils are closed or opened
ULS
at each drive’s pitch (in cased of
Coils extension shaft motion by 20 mm
RCCA
stroke

with shunts located inside it). The

Extension processing of the signals picked up
Shaft from the indicator coils and
LRS generation of code combinations is
carried out in the I&C. An individual,
Insert not repeating code combination of
Shunt signals corresponds to each
RCCA position of RCCA.
For example: 001101011 = 121 pitch
= RCCA position is 2420 mm from
the Lower Rigid Stop (LRS).

SHEM-3 for Hanhikivi-1 NPP

 OKB GIDROPRESS held a workshop on 30-31.05.2017 on providing

the information to the NPP Owner (Fennovoima Oy company) on
CPS drives for Hanhikivi-1 NPP project with participation of the
representatives of Fennovoima Oy, RAOS Oy, JSC “VNIIEM”
Corporation, JSC “Atomenergoproyekt”, JSC “Atomenergomash”.
During this workshop among other topics “Road map on
qualification of control rod drive for Hanhikivi-1 NPP” was
discussed.
 This “Road map...” was approved in general by the participants of
the meeting (a corresponding minutes of the meetings were
signed) and sent to Fennovoima Oy for the final conclusion.
 The following scheme of qualification of CPS drive SHEM-3 is
introduced according to the “Road map...”:

 According to RAOS Project Oy document “Overall Qualification

plan” five qualification disciplines are established:
- Mechanical Equipment;
- Electrical Systems and Equipment;
- Complex Self-Standing Equipment;
- I&C;
- Civil.
 From the viewpoint of structure CPS drives SHEM-3 are a part of the
reactor upper unit, consist of mechanical part and electrical
equipment and shall be qualified as mechanical equipment (including
UEM and PPI indicator as a whole) according to the following
scheme.
