ABSTRACT:
A cluster of standardized reduced length burnable absorber rods include a plurality of middle rod sections having a multiplicity of different axial lengths and containing burnable absorber material in sealed chambers therein, a plurality of upper end spacer sections having a multiplicity of different axial lengths and each defining an empty space, and a plurality of lower end spacer sections having a multiplicity of different axial lengths and each defining an empty space. Each of the rods is formed of one middle rod section tandemly arranged between and interconnecting one upper end spacer section and one lower end spacer section. The three interconnected sections which form each rod being selected so as to provide the same standard combined axial length for each of the rods in the cluster thereof although the axial lengths of the middle rod sections can vary from rod to rod and thereby the axial location of the burnable absorber material along the rod can also vary from rod to rod.
