Reflector assembly 900 includes selectively inserted neutron absorbing members 906 and selectively inserted volumetric displacement members 910. Neutron absorbing members 906 and volumetric displacement members 910 may be of any geometric shape compatible with the shape of channels 908. Neutron absorbing members 906 and volumetric displacement members 910 displace a volume of flowing neutron reflector material 904 in the channel 908 into which they are inserted, thus lowering the neutron reflectivity of that channel. Selectively inserting neutron absorbing members 906 and volumetric displacement members 910 adjusts the neutron reflectivity in the nuclear reactor core by altering the composition of the material in the neutron reflection assembly. Several scenarios are possible for fast neutrons travelling into volumetric displacement members 910, such as example fast neutron 910. Fast neutron 912 may pass through the member 910 (not shown in
