PALLAS, the new nuclear reactor in the Netherlands

The PALLAS project has the objective of constructing and commissioning a new high flux research reactor, PALLAS, which is suitable for medical isotope production and nuclear technological research. This reactor is to serve as replacement for the current High Flux Reactor (HFR) in Petten, which has been in service to date for 50 years and is approaching the end of its economic lifetime.  

The initiative for the PALLAS project was taken by the Nuclear Research & consultancy Group (NRG), a subsidiary of the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN). As operator and license holder of the HFR, NRG has grown into a world player in the field of nuclear consultancy and the provision of irradiation services for the production of medical and industrial isotopes and nuclear technological research.
