Notes: The main uses of the current OPAL reactor are:

  • Irradiation of target materials to produce radioisotopes for medical and industrial applications
  • Research in the fields of materials science and structural biology using neutron beams and its sophisticated suite of experimental equipment
  • Analysis of minerals and samples using the neutron activation technique and the delay neutron activation technique
  • Irradiation of silicon ingots in order to dope them with phosphorus and produce the basic material used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices

RB Belgrade Heavy Water Temporary Shutdown 0.00 1958-04-29 Vinča Nuclear Institute, Vinča At the very beginning the RB reactor was designed and constructed as an unreflected zero power heavy water - natural uranium critical assembly. First criticality was reached in April 1958. Later, the 2% enriched metal uranium fuel and 80% enriched UO2 fuel were obtained and used in the reactor core. Modifications of the reactor control, safety and dosimetry systems (1960, 1976, 1988) converted the RB critical assembly to a flexible heavy water reflected experimental reactor with 1 W nominal power, operable up to 50 W. Several coupled fast-thermal systems were designed and constructed at RB reactor in the early 1990s, for research in fast reactors physics.

Civilian (private and university) research and test reactors formerly licensed to operate

[edit]

Research and test reactors Under decommission order(s) or license amendment(s) are authorized to decontaminate and dismantle their facility to prepare for final survey and license termination. Research and test reactors with possession-only licenses are not authorized to operate the reactor, only to possess the nuclear material on-hand. They are permanently shut down.
