Description

MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is the world's first large-scale Accelerator Driven System (ADS). It consists of a subcritical nuclear reactor powered by a high-power linear accelerator, making it a groundbreaking innovation in the field. The unique design of MYRRHA ensures that the nuclear reactions can be safely halted by simply switching off the proton beam, guaranteeing immediate and safe shutdown.


The MYRRHA project has received significant financial support, with the Belgian Federal Government committing €558 million towards its phased approach. In addition, an international non-profit organization has been established to welcome investment from participating countries, making MYRRHA a candidate for financing from the European Investment Bank. MYRRHA is composed of four major components: the linear accelerator, the lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled reactor, the Proton Target Facility (PTF), and the Full Power Facility (FPF).


The project will be developed in three phases, with the first phase focusing on the design and construction of the linac section, as well as the production of medical radioisotopes. The second phase involves extending the linac to 600 MeV, while the third and final phase entails constructing the reactor itself, which will be commissioned in 2036. By pushing the boundaries of nuclear technology and promoting sustainable development, MYRRHA is poised to revolutionize nuclear research and its applications in various fields
