Hsu,

You can make a good shunt screen stabiliser using an op-amp and a 
tetrode, this was done many times for 4CX250B, 4CX1000A etc. before the 
Tetrode Boards from Ian G3SEK...

See here (second half of article):

http://www.agder.net/la8ak/d23.htm

and here:

http://www.qsl.net/g3uvr/4cx250/G4AJW-psu.pdf

for the 4CX10000D you would need a bigger tube ;-)      The BBC 
long-wave transmitter (198KHz) used to use a 4CX1500A as the shunt 
screen stabilizer for the 250KW tubes made by Thompson ESF.

I'm just not sure which tube you should select for the job... perhaps 
someone on the list can make recommendations...?
