摘要

High flux reactors (HFRs) are a special type of research reactor aimed at providing a high neutron flux. Compared with power reactors and other research reactors, HFRs have unique technical features in terms of reactor core design, irradiation capability, and operating characteristics. They can be applied to the irradiation tests of nuclear fuels and materials, radioisotope production, neutron science, and experiments. This paper reviews HFRs, including their development history, technical features, and application areas, as well as trends in the development of new and advanced HFRs.
