RTP only nuclear research reactor in Malaysia at Agensi Nuklear Malaysia, Bangi.
1st operate on1982 and reached its first criticality on 28 June 1982.
Specification
- Pool type reactor
- Reactor core sits at the bottom of a 7-metre high aluminium tank
- Surrounded by a biological shield made of high density concrete.
- Fuel elements in which the zirconium-hydride moderator is homogeneously combined with enriched uranium.
- Water acts both as coolant and neutron moderator, while graphite acts as a reflector.
