Abstract

A nuclear reactor core sub-assembly is provided with a removable lifting head (12)/absorber pin (20) assembly. The absorber pins (20) are connected to the lifting head (12) in such a way that they can be disconnected, inverted and reconnected the other way round, either collectively as a unit or individually. This allows the same absorber pins to be used at least twice over in different sub-assemblies since only the absorber material closest to the core tends to become depleted during irradiation.
