Kurchatov Institute
Environmentally friendly and economically competitive techniques of radioactive isotope production are being developed at the Kurchatov Institute in USSR, on the base of the ARGUS reactor – an aqueous homogeneous mini reactor. USSR was planning to build a series of this type of rector, however, only two have been built. One in Kurchatov Institute and second was built in the late '80s in Dushanbe, Tajik SSR, but did not go into operation due to collapse of Soviet Union.
