Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Universities Research Reactor, also known as Universities' Research Reactor or University Research Reactor, was a small nuclear research reactor in Risley, Warrington, England. It was jointly owned by Manchester and Liverpool universities and used for performing neutron activation work and training reactor operators.This Argonaut class reactor was opened in 1962.The reactor used highly enriched uranium metal fuel clad in aluminium.The fuel elements consisted of bundles of flat plates rather than rods.The core was light water cooled.The fuel elements were situated within six open topped aluminium tanks containing water that were separated and surrounded by graphite. This meant that moderation was part by the water within the tanks and part by graphite - with graphite serving as the reflector.
