ZPG-2

ZPG-2, or Zero Power Generator-2, is an experimental nuclear reactor designed primarily to study reactor behavior and safety at very low power levels, close to zero. It helps researchers understand how nuclear systems operate under minimal power conditions, which is important for developing safer reactor designs. Unlike typical power plants that produce electricity, ZPG-2 focuses on research and testing, providing valuable data to improve nuclear technology and safety protocols without generating significant energy or waste.
