The institute operates two research reactors; RA [7] and RB. [8] The research reactors were supplied by the Soviet Union. The larger of the two reactors was rated at 6.5 MW and used Soviet-supplied 80% enriched uranium fuel. [9] The nuclear research program ended in 1968; the reactors were switched off in 1984.

Criticality accidents are divided into one of two categories: Process accidents, where controls in place to prevent any criticality are breached;; Reactor accidents, which occur due to operator errors or other unintended events (e.g., during maintenance or fuel loading) in locations intended to achieve or approach criticality, such as nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors, and nuclear ...
