description To reduce size and mass of a nuclear reactor system, an integrated in-vessel shield separates the role of a neutron reflector and a neutron shield. Nuclear reactor system includes a pressure vessel including an interior wall and a nuclear reactor core located within the interior wall of the pressure vessel. Nuclear reactor core includes a plurality of fuel elements and at least one moderator element. Nuclear reactor system includes a reflector located inside the pressure vessel that includes a plurality of reflector blocks laterally surrounding the plurality of fuel elements and the at least one moderator element. Nuclear reactor system includes the in-vessel shield located on the interior wall of the pressure vessel to surround the reflector blocks. In-vessel shield is formed of two or more neutron absorbing materials. The two more neutron absorbing materials include a near black neutron absorbing material and a gray neutron absorbing material.
