Abstract
A nuclear reactor controlled by moving a liquid fuel between a reservoir and chambers in the core is provided. No pumps or moving parts within the reactor vessel are needed to move the fuel. The control system moves the liquid fuel between the core and the reservoir by moving a separate control gas. It can monitor the internal state of the core through the control connections. The fuel chamber is shaped so that evolved gases escape the core and can be collected at the control connections. The core reverts to a safe state on power failure.
