Iran manages to renovate Tehran research reactor: official

Xinhua,April 08, 2018 Adjust font size:

TEHRAN, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said that domestic experts have managed to renovate Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Ali Akbar Salehi said that TRR with the age of 40 years needed complete renovation and "efforts were made by the Iranian researchers and youths to do so."

Now, a rejuvenated reactor is available for the Iranian researchers, said Salehi.

In addition to the renovation of the reactor, a nuclear fuel test loop has been manufactured and installed for the first time to test the resilience of the nuclear fuels due to be used in power plants, he said.

The TRR is a 5 megawatt-thermal (MWth) pool-type light water research reactor. Enditem
