The core is designed with three flow zones and two zones of fuel density to flatten the radial flux distribution; it has a stainless steel reflector to enhance fast neutron flux levels. The core is divided into three trisectors for ease of refueling by the core in-vessel handling machines. Each trisector contains three control rods and locations for 27 fueled assemblies. One location contains an in-reactor thimble which contains special fission chambers to monitor the startup, and another one contains special accelerometers to measure in-core vibration. Six locations have special steel shim assemblies placed in-core for control and power flattening purposes.
