Description
The Low Power Research Reactor (LPRR) is the first research reactor in Saudi Arabia and it is designed as a multipurpose low power reactor to support a demanding training and human resources development plan and become a tool for research and development. The reactor is of an open-pool design cooled by natural circulation of light water with a power rated at 30 kW. The core consists of fuel assemblies of cylindrical shape and the reactivity is controlled by six control rods belonging to the reactor shutdown system. The core is surrounded by light water and partially reflected by a graphite block. (author)
