DEFINITION

Classification: 376/373

Having specified fluid flow path or pattern within reactor core:

(under subclass 370) Subject matter wherein the coolant is made to traverse a specified or predetermined route or channel within the reactor core or the route taken is such as to place the coolant into a pattern or network which serves to exert a particular effect upon the reactor or reaction.

(1) Note. The recitation of a coolant flowing or circulating through the reactor core is not by itself enough to place a patent in this or indented subclasses.
