Preparatory work has begun for the construction of a new research reactor to replace the existing high-flux reactor (HFR) at Petten in the Netherlands.
Project company NRG Pallas said work is being carried out to make an original access road built in the 1960s suitable for construction traffic for the Pallas reactor project.
The work on the road is expected to be completed in early 2023, NRG Pallas said.
In September the government announced it was setting aside financial reserves of €30m ($31m) for the Pallas research reactor project this year and €129m a year from next year – a move welcomed as “a huge boost” for nuclear medicine, knowledge and innovation.
