Description

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) continues to develop multipurpose research-reactor technology to meet Canadian and international requirements into the next millennium. Considerable progress has been made in refining the concept for a new Canadian Irradiation Research Facility (JRF) that will underpin the evolutionary development of CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) technology and generate neutrons for basic and applied materials science. Additionally, an IRF-based standardized MAPLE research centre is being developed with various reactor-core options to meet international needs for neutron-beam research plus ancillary isotope production (a 1 5-MWt 19-site core), for multipurpose materials testing plus neutron-beam applications (a 30-MWt 31-site core), and high-flux neutron-beam plus materials-testing applications (a 30 to 40-MWt complex core with twin 18-site core segments).
