No An explosion such as the one that occurred in the n° 4 reactor of the Chernobyl power plant due to a runaway fission reaction cannot happen with the ILL’s reactor. The equivalent scenario for resea

No It is true that the ILL was founded in 1967 and that the high-flux reactor went critical for the first time in 1971. However, the lifetime of a reactor is linked to the aging of the components “bom

The most serious accident would be a core meltdown following the loss of the water inventory. It is on the basis of this extremely pessimistic scenario that the Institute's internal emergency plan (PU

Yes In the event of a core meltdown, the reactor containment is immediately isolated. In the hours following the accident, the pressure inside the containment may increase slightly. It stabilises at a
