Research Reactor Allocation for Materials under High Neutron Fluence

摘要

Published by the International Atomic Energy Research reactors (RR) have played and continue to play a key role in the development of the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Moreover these facilities are used intensively for education and training purposes of scientists and engineers. At present, a larger scale of designs is in use and they also have different operating modes, producing energy which may be steady or pulsed. Due to this, RR are very unique tools in the scientific and technological development area and they have a fairly wide spectra of applications. In principle, there is a common approach for design which is the pool type reactor in which the core is a cluster of fuel elements sitting in a large pool of water.
