This paper describes the structure and design data selected for control assembly in CEFR in detail. The control assembly of CEFR mainly consists of a guide tube and seven absorber pins. Each pin includes a section absorber material B,C of 510mm long and a stainless steel cladding , and sodium medium is filled in the gap between B,C pellet and cladding. Then the characteristic properties of the prepared B,C pellet to be used in CEFR are presented, and further researches to be done for B,C pellet are also given in the paper.
