Berkeley Research Reactor

The Berkeley Research Reactor is a small nuclear reactor located at the University of California, Berkeley. It is used primarily for scientific research, including studying how materials behave under radiation, producing medical and industrial isotopes, and conducting educational training. The reactor operates at low power levels, making it safe for research purposes. It provides valuable data for nuclear science, medicine, and engineering without the significant risks associated with larger nuclear power plants. Overall, it serves as a specialized tool for advancing knowledge while maintaining strict safety standards.
