Les guides de neutrons sont des tubes vides de section rectangulaire dont la surface interne est recouverte d'un matériau réfléchissant les neutrons. [...] les particules fortement énergétiques émises dans le cœur du réacteur et se propageant en ligne droite sont absorbés par les parois des guides. Dans les parties de guides éloignées du cœur du réacteur, ces parois sont composées de verre boré fortement absorbeur de neutrons : elles constituent donc aussi une excellente protection biologique. 1, record 1, French, - verre%20absorbeur%20de%20neutrons
