A swimming pool reactor is a type of nuclear reactor that is typically used for research and educational purposes. It is characterized by its design, which often includes a large pool of water that serves multiple functions: 1. **Cooling**: The pool acts as a heat sink for the reactor core, absorbing excess heat generated during nuclear fission. 2. **Radiation Shielding**: The water provides a barrier against radiation, protecting personnel and the environment from exposure to harmful radiation produced during reactor operation.
