A gas-cooled graphite-moderated reactor was designed to prevent neutron streaming by positioning graphite spiral elements at each end of the core bores for fuel elements. The spiral elements have helical grooves which permit the passage of coolant but stop the passage of neutrons traveling in straight lines. This reactor design uses fuel elements of the spiraling sheet type (see Patent Serial No.
