    Future challenges for IPEN/MB-01 nuclear research reactor
    2019 - OLIVEIRA, OTAVIO L. de; BITELLI, ULYSSES D.
    Along the last 30 years, the IPEN/MB-01 research reactor (RR) played a key role in the Brazilian Nuclear Program development. In more than 3,660 sessions it was possible to develop several research experiments, train new operators for the Brazilian nuclear power plants (NPP) and form hundreds of new human resources for nuclear area. Nowadays a new core is under deployment in the facility to prototype the Brazilian Multipurpose Research Reactor (RMB) core project. Several challenges, technical and managerial, are being overcome to fulfill the task, so this paper presents the future challenges for the next 30 years of operation, regarding measures to improve the RR utilization. It is expected to attract more students each year, receive researches from abroad, improve the contact with other RRs around the world to exchange experience in safe operation, maintenance and management system and improve the contacts with Brazilian and Latin America universities. In the same way several experiments are planned to be performed, including those related to the NEA/OECD International Benchmark and those related to the undergraduate and graduate courses.
