Strategy for Sustainable Utilization of Irt-sofia Research Reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The research reactor IRT-2000 at the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy (INRNE) in Sofia was built and put into operation in 1961. It was temporarily shut down in 1989 for improvement. The reconstruction into IRT-200 is being carried out under the decision of the Council of Ministers of Republic of Bulgaria in 2001. The strategy for sustainable utilization considers the IRT-200 as a national base and aims to satisfy the society needs for:
