Claim:
1. A catalytic reactor comprising: corrugated fins which are arranged in a passage where a fluid flows and in each of which side walls, partitioning the passage into a plurality of channels, are arranged at a predetermined pitch in an alignment direction orthogonal to a flow direction of the fluid; and catalyst carriers inserted into the plurality of channels defined by the corrugated fins and configured to extend in the flow direction of the fluid, wherein the corrugated fins include a first corrugated fin defining a predetermined catalyst insertion region into which the catalyst carriers are inserted and arranged, and a second corrugated fin arranged to adjoin the first corrugated fin and defining a catalyst non-insertion region adjacent to the catalyst insertion region, and when viewed from the first corrugated fin toward the second corrugated fin along the channels, at least a portion of the side walls of the second corrugated fin is located between two adjacent ones of the side walls of the first corrugated fin at adjoining end faces of the first and second corrugated fins.
