The possibility of reducing the weight of SNAP radial reflectors while keeping their reactivity worth constant by varying their shape is analyzed in terms of reactivity weighting functions for thp axial and radial directions. The results are applied to the specific case of the SER (SNAP2); a weight reduction of 12% is obtained. (D.L.C.)
