Abstract:
1. A neutron reflector block assembly, which includes a pair of neutron reflector blocks each of which comprises the reflector blocks of the assembly abutting in side-by-side relationship such that their adjacent first portion side faces abut each other and the space is thus defined between their adjacent second portion side faces; and a key block located in the space between the adjacent second portion side faces of the neutron reflector blocks and joining the neutron reflector blocks together, wherein, with respect to the neutron reflector blocks respectively, each first portion side face is located in a first portion side face plane and each second portion side face is located in a second portion side face plane, with the second portion side face planes of the second portion side faces of the neutron reflector block being more narrowly spaced than first portion side face planes of the first portion side faces of the neutron reflector block, with the proviso that the first portion side face planes and second portion side face planes are not co-planar.
