Abstract
Improvements in high temperature gas cooled nuclear reactors is effected by an arrangement of paired absorber elements, each pair comprising a rod shaped absorber element and a tubular absorber element generally surrounding the rod shaped element. With this paired combination in a reactor employing spherical fuel elements, the effective life of the absorber rods is significantly extended by protection of the rod shaped absorber element from excessive amounts of irradiation from thermal neutrons.
