ABSTRACT:
A burnable poison rod for use in a nuclear reactor comprises a metallic tube with upper and lower closure means, a neutron absorber positioned within the cladding and a neutron moderating spacer means positioning the neutron absorber in spaced relation to the lower closure means. The neutron moderating spacing means can comprise a solid neutron moderating material, or a liquid coolant moderator contained within the lower section of the cladding with a sealing plug positioned between the neutron absorber and the liquid coolant moderator.
