Nuclear reactor : A type of devices that can initiate and control a self-sustaining series of nuclear reactions. The reactions can be fission and fusion reactions. Nuclear reactors are used for producing energy as heat, research tools and for producing radioactive isotopes.
About 10% of the world's electricity is produced from nuclear energy.

The MYRRHA project at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre,
The MYRRHA project at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, SCK•CEN, was started in 1998 and is aimed at the design, construction and operation an accelerator-driven, lead-bismuth-cooled, subcritical, fast-neutron reactor. The project has now reached a point where a decision on its future needs to be taken.
