The great expansion of nuclear technology which is expected within the next decade requires new tools, both for education and for the performance of tests on the physics design of the systems to be studied. Presently existing research reactors were not designed to meet these needs. Their high power levels do not permit flexibility of installation and limit the usefulness of the reactors a s measuring tools (for example, for danger coefficient and pile oscillation studies). Therefore, such reactors as CP-5, MTR, LITR, and the Brookhaven Reactor have become basically high-level neutron sources for experiments in pure science and radioactive engineering.
