ABSTRACT:
A high temperature reactor having a reactor core filled with spherical fuel elements is provided comprising a graphite side reflector including at least one nose-like projection protruding radially into the reactor core from said graphite said reflector, said at least one nose-like projection including a 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, and sealing means positioned in said continuous opening and cooperatively engaged with the portion of said nose-like projections defining said vertically disposed continuous opening, said sealing means being so configured and so cooperatively engaged so as to permit gaseous communication between said cavity and said core while preventing passage of said discrete absorber material elements through said continuous passage.
