Image description

In May 1959, the heavy water reactor "Diorit" was installed at the Swiss Institute for Reactor Research EIR in Wuerenlingen. Slowly, the reactor tank is inserted into the shielding jacket. The tank will hold the uranium rods and the heavy water. The "Diorit" type reactor near Wuerenlingen is the first heavy water nuclear reactor in Switzerland. The design of the experimental reactors "Diorit" and "Saphir" was started in 1955 under the direction of Reaktor AG, which was transferred to the EIR (Eidgenoessisches Institut für Reaktorforschung) in 1960.
