4 Introduction IPR-R1 Research Reactor Belo Horizonte São Paulo Rio de Janeiro ARGONAUTA Research Reactor IPEN/MB-01 Research Reactor IEA-R1 Research Reactor
5 Research Reactor Utilization ARGONAUTA Research Reactor Argonaut type reactor (Argonne National Laboratory Nuclear Assembly for University Training) Installed in 1965 at the Nuclear Engineering Institute (IEN) of the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission located at the Rio de Janeiro University Campus. 500 W of maximum power U 3 O 8 -Al MTR dispersion fuel type with 20% uranium enrichment. Main utilization Teaching and training in reactor physics Neutron radiography Neutron activation analysis
6 Research Reactor Utilization TRIGA MarkI type reactor, produced by General Atomic Company, USA. Installed in 1960 at the previous Radioactive Research Institute (IPR), today the Nuclear Technology Developing Center (CDTN) of the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission, located at Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais Federal University Campus. 100 kw of maximum power for continuous operation. U-Zr-H Triga pin type fuel with 20% uranium enrichment. Main utilization: Specific radioisotope production for industry, medical, agriculture and engineering applications. Neutron activation analysis. Teaching physics. and training in reactor The reactor is one of the training tools for licensing the Brazilian nuclear power reactor operators. IPR-R1 Research Reactor
7 Research Reactor Utilization IPEN/MB-01 Research Reactor Designed and constructed with Brazilian technology. Installed at the Energetic and Nuclear Research Institute (IPEN) of the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission site, in Sao Paulo, had its first criticality in W of maximum power. UO 2 fuel pins with 4.3% uranium enrichment. Main utilization: Validation of reactor physics methodology and nuclear data associated for PWR core analysis. Teaching and training in reactor physics.
8 Research Reactor Utilization IPEN/MB-01 Research Reactor The international community recognizes some experiments performed at this reactor as benchmarking data. The experimental data obtained at the reactor are: integral and differential reactivity worth of control rods; power calibration by foils activation and noise analysis; temperature coefficients; and void reactivity spatial and energetic flux distribution by foils activation and fission chambers detectors; reaction rates and spectral index measurement inside fuel rods; buckling measurement with different baffle material and thickness; criticality tests with different burnable poison specific physics. tests related to reactor
9 Research Reactor Utilization Pool type research reactor, Babcock & Wilcox project. Installed at the previous Atomic Energy Institute (IEA), presently the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN) of the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission site, in Sao Paulo, inside the Sao Paulo University Campus, The reactor achieved its first criticality on September 16, MW of maximum power (originally 2 MW) The reactor originally used 93% enriched U-Al fuel elements, but now it uses 20% enriched uranium U 3 Si 2 -Al dispersion fuel produced at IPEN.

12 Future Perspectives for RR Utilization Brazilian Nuclear Program Review Electricity produced by nuclear power plants Brazil will continue to use nuclear energy in its electrical power generating matrix. Nuclear Fuel Brazil has a significant uranium ore reserve and domains the fuel cycle technology, including U enrichment. Increase of industrial activities for supplying the nuclear power plants needs. Nuclear Techniques Utilization Increase of the nuclear techniques applications and radioisotope utilization in the benefit of the society. Increase of autonomous technology development PNB Working Group PNB Advisory Group

16 Future Perspectives for RR Utilization New Multipurpose Research Reactor Due to the Brazilian nuclear program review proposals of increasing activities in the nuclear sector for the next decades; Due to the fact that the industrial application of power reactor and nuclear fuel technology requires, for an autonomous development, the need of fuel and material testing under irradiation; Due to the fact that the radioisotope production for radiopharmaceuticals application depends strongly on international suppliers; Due to the fact that neutron beam applications, for fundamental and technological research, are limited with the actual infrastructure. The Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN) is analyzing the costs and benefits of constructing a new research reactor in Brazil. This new research reactor should have neutron fluxes compatible to the multipurpose use and application needs.
