Abstract:
A neutron absorber member including a tube having a split extending radially completely through a sidewall of said tube throughout the entire axial length thereof such that the absorber member has a C-shaped geometry formed by the split. The sidewall of the tube is resiliently biased radially outwards and comprised of a metal matrix composite that is configured to absorb neutrons emanation from a spent fuel assembly in a sufficient amount to thereby maintain subcriticality of said spent fuel assembly.

Claim (Index 5):
The absorber member of  claim 2 , wherein when the tube is in a fully installed position, the gap distance between the first and second end walls at different locations along the axial length of the tube is dependent upon corresponding geometry of the control rod guide tube at said different locations so that the gap distance at one portion of the tube is different than at a second portion of the tube.
