Abstract
Engineering developments in the field of high-power (1014 and 1015 neutrons/cm2 sec) research reactors are reviewed with emphasis on fuel element technology and the principle of the flux trap. Calculational methods used in designing reactors are discussed. Several examples of two types of advanced research reactor are described: plate-fuel-element tank reactors and pulsed reactors. Present policies with regard to site selection and containment of research reactors are reviewed briefly. The more important nuclear accidents involving research reactors are summarized.
