Small reactors built for research, training, isotopes or remote power, including TRIGA, swimming pool reactors, aqueous homogeneous reactors and nuclear microreactors. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes such a small or research reactor. These reactors are smaller than power station units and are built to train people, produce isotopes, study materials or supply remote power, often with inherently safe fuel or simple pool cooling. A reactor is placed here by the research or small reactor role the cited article describes.
