MITR-III
Description
This paper outlines the successful Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) research project which is currently based on a compact core 5 MW neutron source. In anticipation of the license expiration for the current MITR-II in 1996, studies have been initiated to define the user needs and the reactor design which could meet these needs. An overview of current activities relating to a new or upgraded reactor, MITR-III, are presented in this paper
