Training Reactor AKR-2

The training reactor AKR-2 of the TU Dresden became critical for the first time on March 22nd 2005. Since then, Germany’s most modern research reactor is available for training and research. Students in the field of technical and science studies, as well as medical physics experts benefit the most from the improved training facilities. The plant is open to public and pupils by appointment.

The chair of hydrogen and nuclear technology uses the AKR-2. The new plant replaces the AKR-1 that had been operating very successfully from July 1978 until March 2004 with a very successful track record and was extensively modernized from 2004 to 2005.
