OSTI ID:4005363
A reactor is described in which helically-finned cylindrical fuel elements are stacked in tubular channels. Longitudinal flat baffles of the same length as the fuel element are distributed around the outside of the cylinder; the baffles extend further outward than the fins. The baffles are designed such that, under reactor operating temperatures, the baffles come into contact with the wall of the moderator channel. This contact gives resistance to bowing and buckling. It is noted that the baffles may be made of graphite. (T.F.H.)
