The research and teaching activities of the reactor physics department focus on fundamental reactor physics calculation and measurement methods in the context of ensuring and assessing the safety of existing and new types of nuclear reactors. Within this framework, the training nuclear reactor AKR-2 is used as a measurement platform for the validation of calculation methods and the development of measurement procedures. These research and development efforts contribute to the improvement of the safety characteristics of nuclear reactors, to developing methods for minimizing highly radioactive waste, and to proliferation security.
Neutron Imaging
Quality and quantitative non-destructive imaging using neutrons on a low-flux system as well as support for user operation (example application, see Fig. 1)
