The Omega West Reactor (OWR) is a research reactor that was located at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in Idaho, USA. It was primarily used for the testing of materials and components intended for use in nuclear reactors, as well as for research in nuclear engineering and related fields. The OWR was a pool-type reactor, meaning that the reactor core was submerged in a large body of water, which served as both a coolant and a radiation shield.
