ABSTRACT:
Advantage is taken of the non-uniform axial neutron flux density distribution in a nuclear reactor core by using fuel rod spacers of low neutron absorption in high neutron flux density regions and fuel rod spacers of low coolant flow resistance in the lower neutron flux density regions of the core, this spacer combination also providing higher fuel bundle thermal limits.
