IAEA Conference Tackles Issue Of Utilisation :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

IAEA Conference Tackles Issue Of Utilisation :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The use of nuclear research reactors is being discussed this week at an International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina.



The IAEA said there are 224 research reactors in operation across 53 countries and while many are used to their full capacity, several are underutilised.



“Many research reactors were built to address an immediate need at that time. Now, many years later, their mission statement must be reviewed,” said Nuno Pessoa Barradas, a research reactor specialist at the IAEA.
