The Godiva device is a type of nuclear reactor designed for research purposes. Specifically, it is a subcritical reactor, which means that it cannot sustain a nuclear chain reaction on its own. Instead, it is used for various experiments, particularly in the field of nuclear physics and radiation studies. The Godiva device is notable for being a fast, neutron-based system, which allows researchers to study the behavior of materials and the interactions of neutrons without the complexities associated with self-sustaining reactors.
