let say there is an bundle of fuel with 4 rings. Where ring 1 is center most ring and ring 4 is outer most ring.
1st ring contains: 1 fuel element
2nd ring contains : 6 fuel elements
3rd ring contains: 12 fuel element
4th ring contains : 18 fuel elements
The general distribution of flux is that of a sinc function.
So why would 1 element in the outer most ring generate more power than the element in the inner most ring.
