Experimental reactors are specialized facilities designed to test and study nuclear reactions and materials. They help researchers understand the behavior of nuclear fuels and the effects of radiation, contributing to advancements in nuclear energy and safety. These reactors often operate at lower power levels compared to commercial reactors, allowing for controlled experiments. These reactors can also be used to develop new technologies, such as advanced nuclear reactors and fusion energy. By simulating various conditions, scientists can gather valuable data that informs the design and operation of future nuclear power plants and enhances our understanding of nuclear physics.
