There are a considerable number of operating small and medium sized research reactors
in the world. Of the total of about 285 worldwide, 102 are located in the USA, 23 in other
parts of the Americas, 85 in Western Europe, 34 in Eastern Europe, and 41 in Asia, Africa
and Oceania.
The extent to which these neutron sources are utilized is remarkable. They are employed
in many areas of research in the sciences and the technologies. Important uses also
include medical and industrial applications as well as teaching and training. These reactors
are being modified and upgraded to meet the changing needs of their broad user base. This
symposium has brought together reactor users, operators and designers from 21 countries
to discuss the uses and development of these neutron sources. More than 140 papers have
been presented and included in these proceedings.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research
Reactor, we were pleased to organize and host this symposium. The many important
contributions made possible by the development and use of research reactors has more
than justified the resources expended. Many future benefits can be expected from the use
of these reactors.
