January 06 DD wishes a Happy New Year

In 2013, DD achieved a significant milestone towards removing and packaging the internal components of Denmark's largest research reactor, DR3. We plan to lift the 22-ton steel plug on the reactor vessel in spring 2014.

TThe research reactor DR3 played a significant role in research on material irradiation, especially the so-called silicon doping.

The news magazine Ingeniøren has, prior to the new year, published a series of engaging background articles about DD's work, and on Ingeniøren's website, one can, among other things, read more about the history of research reactor DR3:
