TRIGA Reactor

A TRIGA reactor is a type of research nuclear reactor designed for safe and flexible operation. It uses uranium fuel combined with zirconium, which helps control the nuclear chain reaction. The reactor produces heat and neutrons used for scientific research, medical isotope production, and training. Its unique safety feature is that if cooling is lost, the reaction automatically slows down or stops, reducing the risk of accidents. TRIGA reactors are built with safety and versatility in mind, making them valuable tools in scientific, medical, and educational fields.
