In the monolithic type pebble bed reactor, the dimension of the reactor core diameter becomes large, and nuclear control for a large-sized reactor having a large output scale is insufficient in a cooled state using only control elements(control rod, boron sphere) inserted into the reflector region. Furthermore, a reactor core control rod, which is forcibly inserted directly into the reactor core, is required in addition to the control elements inserted into the reflector region by gravity drop only. Moreover, cases have been reported that fuel spheres are broken if the control rod is inserted forcibly into the core because the pebble reactor core is full of fuel spheres accumulated inside the reactor core, which causes a serious drawback. 1, record 1, English, - pebble%20bed%20reactor%20core

Prior art fuel elements used in nuclear reactors can be divided into two general classes--flat plate fuel elements and cylindrical rod fuel elements. A requirement for plate fuel elements is that the fuel be metallurgically bonded to the cladding. Fuel elements of this type are conventionally brazed in parallel relation between two side plates. 1, record 16, English, - plate%20fuel%20element
