Also found in: Wikipedia

0.01 sec.

a variety of research reactor. It has a small reaction zone in the shape of a nuclearfuel lattice (enriched uranium) located in the center of a water-filled pool. The water functions as a neutron moderator, a reflector minimizing neutron leakage out of the reaction zone, a coolant carrying heat by convection out of the reaction zone in order to maintain preset operating conditions, and biological shielding maintaining the allowable radiation dosage outside the reactor.
