Pool-type water-cooled reactors RBT were commissioned in 1975 (RBT-6), 1983 (RBT-10/1) and 1984 (RBT-10/2). These reactors are intended for long-term experiments under stable parameters with no need to achieve neutron fluence rapidly. The reactor’s highlight is that it operates the fuel assemblies spent in the SM reactor. A high content of U-235 in these fuel assemblies provides for the neutron flux density of 10*13 – 10*14 cm*-2·s*-1 while the slow reactivity decrease is particularly related to the presence of Sm-149 accumulated in the SM reactor and burning gradually.
