ABSTRACT:
A gas-cooled high temperature reactor is provided having a core filled with spherical fuel elements, in combination with a graphite side reflector including at least one nose-like projection protruding radially into the reactor core from said graphite said reflector, the at least one nose-like projection including at least one vertically disposed cavity adapted to receive discrete absorber material elements introduced into said reactor core as well as a vertically disposed continuous opening which permits communication between said cavity and the core of the reactor, said opening having a maximum width adjacent said cavity which is less than the minimum dimension of said discrete absorber material elements in order to prevent passage of said elements into said continuous opening from said cavity.
