ABSTRACT:
An absorber rod for nuclear reactors with a pile of spherical fuel elements, which is inserted directly into the pile, in order to affect the prevailing neutron flux by absorber material located in an annular gap between two concentric cylindrical rod elements. The absorber rod has concentric rod elements arranged in pairs, a common rod tip and common connecting pieces. The rod elements are cooled by flow of gas and the inner cylindrical rod element performs the support function, i.e., it absorbs and transmits forces and moments originating in the movements of the rod during insertion and extraction.
