Advanced Test Reactor



The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) is a research reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory, located east of Arco, Idaho. This reactor is primarily designed and used to test materials to be used in larger-scale and prototype reactors. It can operate at a maximum power of 250 MW and has a "Four Leaf Clover" design (similar to the Camunian rose) that allows for a variety of testing locations. The unique design allows for different flux in various locations and specialized systems also allow for certain experiments to be run at their own temperature and pressure.
