Experimental
fast reactor BOR-60
Reactor BOR-60 is an unique many-purpose facility
that has been operating reliably since 1969 to solve sodium
cooled fast reactor problems and other types of nuclear energy
facilities and nuclear fusion reactors. It is used also for
providing investigations that are urgent in different
spheres of science and engineering.
