Used WATKINS JOHNSON WJ-1000T #9057690 for sale

WATKINS JOHNSON WJ-1000T is a reactor designed for health physics applications. It is an air cooled, horizontal, cylindrical unit that is constructed of stainless steel and designed for operation in a hot cell. The reactor has a core that consists of several concentric cylinders of stainless steel lined with a thin layer of zirconium and filled with approximately 44 kg of evenly distributed graphite moderator. The core is housed in a vessel filled with nitrogen or hydrogen which serves to reduce radiation and to control the temperature of the graphite moderator. The reactor has a built-in control rod equipment that consists of a series of movable control rods made of stainless steel. The control rods are positioned around the core and can be operated from outside the hot cell. The system allows for precise control of the reactor power by raising and lowering the rods. The base of the reactor has an air cooling unit that circulates forced air around the core to keep the graphite and zirconium components from overheating. WATKINS JOHNSON 1000T reactor is designed to be used primarily in laboratories and medical facilities to provide high-quality irradiation for medical studies and experiments. Its design is optimized to achieve high efficiency in terms of power production, safety, and reliability. The built-in safety systems, such as the control rod machine, ensure the safety of personnel and property when conducting experiments. The radiation levels produced by the reactor can be carefully controlled resulting in precise irradiation for experiment conditions. 1000 T reactor is well suited for health physics applications, due to its reliable performance, high safety standards and precision control. Due to its relatively compact size and design, the reactor can be easily installed and used in medical facilities with limited space. It is an ideal choice for laboratories and medical institutions that require precise and reliable irradiation for medical studies and experiments.
