DEFINITION

Classification: 376/174

Having particular coolant fluid flow path or pattern within reactor core:

(under subclass 171) Subject matter wherein the coolant* is made to traverse a specifically defined route or channel within the reactor core or the route taken is such as to place the coolant into a pattern or network.

(1) Note. The recitation of a coolant flowing or circulating through the reactor core is not by itself proper subject matter for this subclass.
