The WR-c research nuclear reactor (15 MW) has been in operation since 1964 at the Obninsk Branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "NIFKhI im. L. Ya. Karpova" (L. Ya. Karpov Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry) (Fig. 1). The WR-c is a heterogeneous, water-moderated tank reactor. The reactor was specially adapted for the performance of a broad range of studies in the field of radiation chemistry, structural and materials science research, activation analysis, neutron doping of semiconductors, etc. The reactor is equipped with vertical and horizontal experimental channels of different diameters. The process complex of the reactor includes 21 hot chambers, a well-developed process transport system, a radioactive waste processing unit, etc.
