With higher heat ratings in thermal reactors having deep-finned elements to conduct a higher heat flux, there is an increase in the temperature difference between root and tip of the fin so that the tip serves little purpose from a heat transfer aspect. Without the tip, less pumping power is needed. This leads to a design of rod-like or tube-like fuel elements shaped so as to be undulating in longitudinal section and enclosed in a protective sheath of constant cross section.
