A description is given of a fast-neutron reactor wherein the core and the surrounding lateral and axial blankets are made up of fuel element stacks. The walls of each stack have holes in the middle portion thereof with respect to the height of the core. Main and additional fuel elements are arranged respectively above and below the plane passing through the centers ofthe holes, inside each stack, the spacing between which fuel elements form, together with the holes, the inlet header of the coolant washing the fuel elements. The inlet header splits the coolant into two oppositely directed flows lead away by two outlet headers arranged above and below the upper and lower axial blankets. (Official Gazette)
