=== VENUS === The research reactor VENUS, which stands for ''Vulcan Experimental Nuclear Study'' was commissioned in 1964. VENUS is used as an experimental installation for nuclear reactor physics studies of new reactor systems and for testing reactor calculations. The installation was re-built and modernised several times. As part of the GUINEVERE project, SCK CEN decided to re-build the VENUS reactor into a scale model of Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS). The particle accelerator was first connected in 2011. VENUS is a "[[zero power critical|zero power]] reactor": it has a power consumption of only 500 Watt.
