CROCUS is a research reactor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a research institute and university in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The uranium nuclear reactor core is in an aluminium container that measures Script error: No such module "convert". across with Script error: No such module "convert".-thick walls. The aluminum vessel is filled with demineralized light water to serve as both a neutron moderator and a neutron reflector.[1]
Power output is controlled either by adjusting the water level in the reactor—with a ±Script error: No such module "convert". level of control, or with the adjustment of two boron carbide (B4C) control rods—with a ±Script error: No such module "convert". level of finesse. The reactor has six separate safety systems: two cadmium shields and four storage tanks, any of which can shut down the reaction in less than a second.[1]
CROCUS has a license to produce Script error: No such module "convert". or a neutron flux of ~2.5 × 109 cm-2s-1 at the core's center.[1]
