ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor contains an assembly of moderator blocks, laid end-to-end, one on top of another, and alongside one another, which blocks are restrained by vertical beams at each side of the assembly, fixed horizontal beams surrounding the assembly at the top and bottom and springs connecting the fixed horizontal beams and the ends of the vertical beams in such a way as to permit relatively high expansion midway of the height of the assembly while restricting expansion near the top of the assembly.
