ABSTRACT:
A core construction of a nuclear reactor wherein the fuel charge in the core has 1/4 symmetry and fuel assemblies adjacent a control rod (10) constitute a core unit. In the central portion of the core, each core unit (12) is composed of one thrice burned fuel assembly (3), and three once (1) or twice (2) burned fuel assemblies. One of the two types of fuel assemblies which includes two fuel assemblies located on a diagonal line in the respective core unit. In the core as a whole, the fuel assemblies of the same type or the same burning cyclic period are located on a diagonal line (E,F,G).
