The first research reactor became critical on December 2, 1942, and at the present time more than 300 such reactors are in operation. These reactors are used in countries with a large nuclear program and a corresponding infrastructure, including national supervisory authorities, as well as in countries which are beginning the development of nuclear power generation or which do not have any intention of developing it and use research reactors only for scientific purposes and the production of radioisotopes.
