A gas cooled nuclear reactor may have a stationary pile of spherical operating elements. The reactor may be controlled and shut down by absorber rods displaceable in channels of the side reflector. The neutron sources required for the safe start-up of such pellet pile reactors, which in the case of higher capacity pile reactors are installed in bores of the side reflector, are arranged in the stationary pile, where they are more effective and do not occupy positions in the side reflector. They may be located in one or more graphite elements having the same diameter as the operating elements. These elements may be introduced and removed into and from the core together with the operating elements and remain stationary in operation.
A gas cooled nuclear reactor having a pebble bed of operating elements and no absorber rods directly insertable into said bed of operating rods directly insertable into said bed of operating elements, said reactor comprising:
