Nuclear research reactors are used in many countries for research and training, materials testing, or the production of radioisotopes for medicine and industry. Other countries demand new reactors for these needs. Most of these reactors operate with highly enriched uranium nuclear fuel, which entails considerable security and safety risks.

Do we have alternatives? A new technology of accelerators may become a substitute for nuclear research reactors. This presentation will review the alternatives and benefits of adopting the technology of accelerators in order to reduce dependence on enriched uranium.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
