ABSTRACT:
A control rod for a nuclear fuel assembly has structures formed of boron carbide mounted inside it. The boron carbide structures are provided deformable members between them which will deform at operating temperatures to accommodate the dimensional increase of the boron carbide structures and reduce the level of deformable stress on the rod cladding.
