Creators
Description
DHRUVA reactor, which attained its first criticality on 8 August 1985, is a 100 MW (th) research reactor with a maximum thermal neutron flux of 1.8 × 1014 n*cm-2*s-1. The reactor utilizes heavy water as coolant, moderator, reflector and metallic natural uranium as fuel. DHRUVA, with its high neutron flux and large irradiation volume meets the growing demands for radioisotopes, research in basic sciences and engineering and other research reactor based requirements in India. The thermal, epithermal and fast neutron flux at various locations of the reactor is given.
