Atominstitut’s Prater Reactor
January 27th 2011
A visit offered by the
OeKTG and SFEN-GTA
Prater’s Atominstitut Triga Reactor
• The reactor is a 250 kWth Triga reactor aimed at science and training,
• It can achieve pulses one thousand time more powerful although its main operating mode is at constant power,
• It has been operating since 1962• It participates in many international
programs including education, science,...
