IAEA highlights work to convert research reactors : Regulation & Safety - World Nuclear News

IAEA highlights work to convert research reactors : Regulation & Safety - World Nuclear News: Almost 3500 kg of highly enriched uranium has been removed from research reactor sites around the world over the past few decades, thanks to efforts supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Seventy-one research reactors have been converted to use low-enriched uranium fuel since 1978. Conversion of such reactors to use LEU reduces the proliferation risk presented by HEU.
