Abstract
A multi-region reactor core pebble bed high temperature gas reactor comprises a pebble bed reactor core housed within a pressure vessel and charged with spherical fuel. The reactor core is surrounded by a reflector wall comprising a partition wall which partitions the reactor core into a plurality of reactor core sub-regions. The reflector wall comprises a plurality of layers of reflector blocks, adjacent blocks of a layer being secured against one another by removable tapered keys wedged therein between.
