Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors
Usage examples
  • Toward that end it has promoted the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) program to develop low enriched fuels for such reactors and has proposed to adopt a policy of managing spent nuclear fuel from foreign research reactors including the possibility of accepting U.S. origin spent research reactor fuel in the United States for disposal.
  • The mission of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Program (RERTR) is to develop technologies that could be used to minimize and eventually eliminate the use of highly-enriched uranium in civil applications worldwide. The predominant use of highly-enriched uranium is as fuel and targets for civilian research and test reactors. If these are converted to the use of low-enriched uranium fuels which cannot be used in nuclear weapons, a major proliferation risk can be virtually eliminated. A cooperative program with Russia that has the same goals and objectives for Russian supplied research reactors began in 1996.
