ABSTRACT:
Each of control rods inserted in the core of a nuclear reactor is coupled to a control rod driving apparatus for moving the control rod in an axial direction by a coupling mechanism including a gripper formed at a lower end of a driving extension shaft adapted to be driven by the control rod driving apparatus, and a finger mounted at an upper end of the control rod for engagement with the gripper. A cam is located in the interior of the driving extension shaft for bringing the gripper and the finger into and out of engagement with each other for coupling and uncoupling the control rod and the control rod driving apparatus.
