The CIRUS reactor, which stands for "Cobalt Indian Research and Utilization System," is a research reactor located in India. It was established in the 1960s and is notable for being one of the first reactors built in the country, with its design based on the Canadian ZEEP reactor. CIRUS primarily uses heavy water (D2O) as a moderator and coolant, and it operates on low-enriched uranium fuel.
