A materials testing reactor (MTR) is a high-flux research
nuclear reactor aimed at studying materials exposed to a high
neutron flux.
Examples
Materials testing reactors include:
-
BR2, the Belgian Reactor 2, moderated with a
paraboloid
beryllium matrix, in operation at
SCK CEN since 1962.
- The
Materials Testing Reactor (MTR), an early reactor that operated in
Idaho from 1952-1970.
-
Dounreay Materials Testing Reactor, a
Dido class reactor in the
United Kingdom.
-
ETRR-2, at the nuclear research center in
Inshas,
Egypt.
-
Jules Horowitz Reactor, under construction at the
Cadarache nuclear facility in southern
France.
-
Research reactor in
Petten, the
Netherlands.
-
Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology (PINSTECH) in
