Based in Dubna, Russia, at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), IBR-2M is a 4 MWth average (1500 MWth peak) fast pulsed research reactor. It is the world’s only operating pulsed fast reactor dedicated to neutron research, focusing on condensed matter physics. Operational since the 1980s

Located at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) in Moscow, Russia, IRT MEPhI is a 2.5 MWth pool-type research reactor. It is primarily used for student training and research in neutron activation analysis. Operational since the 1960s, it continues to play a key role in nuclear education

Leningrad II-2 is operational at the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant in Sosnovy Bor, Russia. This 1200 MWe VVER-1200 reactor is a key component of Russia's modern nuclear fleet, contributing to national energy supply. It has been in commercial operation, supporting grid stability and clean energy goal

Situated at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Russia, MIR.M1 is a 100 MWth channel-type research reactor. It is designed for materials and fuel testing under conditions representative of operating power reactors. Operational since the 1960s, it continues to contribute

Located in Gatchina, Russia, at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI), PIK is a 100 MWth heavy water-moderated high-flux research reactor. Designed as one of Europe’s premier neutron sources, it supports neutron scattering and fundamental nuclear physics research. After over 30 years of co

Located in Dimitrovgrad, Russia, at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR), SM-3 is a 100 MWth tank-in-pool research reactor with one of the world’s highest neutron fluxes. It is a primary global source for specialized isotopes like Cf-252 and Am-243, supporting materials testing and isoto
