Description
The plate-type Venezuelan research reactor RV-1, which reached criticality in 1960 (Ref. 1), has a limited capacity for sample irradiations and for beam experiments despite its 3-M intermediate power. This is mainly due to its current fuel design, which contains low concentrations of 20% enriched uranium, as originally designed, generating relatively low neutron fluxes in a non-compact-core size
