There is one pool type #nuclear research reactor in Greece. Its construction started in 1959 and its operation in 1961. It is located at the National Centre for Scientific Research (#Demokritos) in Athens and it generated 5 MW of power. It was shut down in 2004. Initially for an upgrade to 10 MW power, but it was not followed up and the reactor is currently under decommissioning.

    The reactor was operated with U3Si2-Al dispersion fuel. Its #uranium contained 19.75% U-235 and all #nuclearFuel was sent back to its origin (the US) in 2019.
