ABSTRACT:
In a fast breeder reactor provided with a core comprising a core region packed with a fissile material and a blanket region which surrounds the outside of said core region and most of which is formed of a fertile material, and a plurality of control rods which are put in and out of the above core region by a control rod driving device, the fast breeder reactor of the present invention is characterized in that each of said control rods is constructed of a neutron absorber region packed with a neutron absorber and a gas region disposed in the end portion on the side further separated from said control rod driving device than said neutron absorber region. With this invention, the spectral shift effect can be produced by utilizing said gas region, thereby increasing the core reactvity of the fast breeder reactor.
