ABSTRACT:
A neutron flux control component for a nuclear reactor. Thin, overlapping segments of highly neutron absorbing material are positioned in the core of a reactor. The self-shielding overlapping segments are moved relative to each other to vary the amount of exposed surface area of poison to control core reactivity and to provide power shaping within the reactor core. The poison segments are mounted to carriers in the form of close-fitting concentric cylinders or rods of V-shaped cross section.
