The Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application (NERVA; ) was a nuclear thermal rocket engine development program that ran for roughly two decades. Its principal objective was to "establish a technology base for nuclear rocket engine systems to be utilized in the design and development of propulsion systems for space mission application". It was a joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and was managed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office (SNPO) until the program ended in January 1973. SNPO was led by NASA's Harold Fi

Kilopower is an experimental U.S. project to make new nuclear reactors for space travel. The project started in October 2015, led by NASA and the DoE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). As of 2017, the Kilopower reactors were intended to come in four sizes, able to produce from one to ten kilowatts of electrical power (1–10 kWe) continuously for twelve to fifteen years. The fission reactor uses uranium-235 to generate heat that is carried to the Stirling converters with passive sodium heat pipes. In 2018, positive test results for the Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Techno

The ZEEP (Zero Energy Experimental Pile) reactor was a nuclear reactor built at the Chalk River Laboratories near Chalk River, Ontario, Canada (which superseded the Montreal Laboratory for nuclear research in Canada). ZEEP first went critical at 15:45 on September 5, 1945. ZEEP was the first operational nuclear reactor outside the United States. == History == The reactor was designed by Canadian, British and French scientists as a part of an effort to produce plutonium for nuc

NRX (National Research Experimental) was a heavy-water-moderated, light-water-cooled, nuclear research reactor at the Canadian Chalk River Laboratories, which came into operation in 1947 at a design power rating of 10 MW (thermal), increasing to 42 MW by 1954. It was Canada's most expensive science facility and the world's most powerful nuclear research reactor at its construction. NRX was remarkable for its heat output and the number of free neutrons it generated. In the late 1940s, the NRX reactor had the highest neutron flux in the world: 10–20 times that of a graphite reactor of comparable

alt=MYRRHA Reactor vessel and its internals|thumb|upright=2|MYRRHA Reactor vessel, cutaway view The MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is a design project of a nuclear reactor coupled to a proton accelerator. This makes it an accelerator-driven system (ADS). MYRRHA will be a lead-bismuth cooled fast reactor with two possible configurations: sub-critical or critical.

KAMINI (Kalpakkam Mini reactor) is a research reactor at the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research (IGCAR) in Kalpakkam, India. It achieved criticality on October 29, 1996. It was designed and built jointly by IGCAR and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). It produces 30 kW of thermal energy at full power. KAMINI is cooled and moderated by light water, uses a beryllium oxide neutron reflector, and is fueled with uranium-233 metal produced by the thorium fuel cycle harnessed by the neighbouring FBTR reactor.

The Çekmece Nuclear Research and Training Center (), known as ÇNAEM, is the primary nuclear research and training center of Turkey. The organization was established on March 6, 1958 as a subunit of Turkish Atomic Energy Administration (, TAEK) at Küçükçekmece district in the west of Istanbul. The organization's name was coined on August 12, 1960 in conjunction with its location.
