Materials testing reactor

A Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) is a type of research reactor primarily designed to investigate the properties and behavior of materials under various radiation environments. These reactors play a crucial role in the development and testing of materials that will be used in nuclear reactors, space applications, and other high-radiation environments. Key features and purposes of MTRs include: 1. **Neutron Irradiation**: MTRs provide a source of neutrons which are used to expose materials to radiation.
