Old Army Research Reactor



One of those reactors is still in operation. 
However, it has been significantly modified. 
RPI's Reactor Critical Facility I believe is
constructed from the guts of one of the old
reactors.  All that is left is the "core" area and
some water control systems.  Currently the RCF
is doing studies on MOX fuel.  The reactor is
licences to operate at 100 watts(t) and the
administrator keeps it below 10 watts (t).
