ABSTRACT:
A reactor core, comprising:an outermost region; a core region surrounded by said outermost region; a plurality of fuel support members, each of which is disposed at a lower end portion of said outermost region and said core region; and a plurality of fuel assemblies loaded in said outermost region and said core region and supported by said fuel support members,wherein a plurality of fuel assemblies disposed in said core region include a plurality of first fuel assemblies, each of which is inserted into a first coolant passage which is formed in said fuel support member and has a first resistor having an opening, and a plurality of second fuel assemblies, each of which is individually inserted into each of second coolant passage which is formed in said fuel support member and has a second resistor having an opening and a larger pressure loss than that of said first resistor; and,four fuel assemblies, each of which is adjacent to each of four lateral sides of each of a plurality of first fuel assemblies, include either three or four second fuel assemblies.
