A Cutting-edge Research
and Educational Platform
for Nuclear Engineering
URI-LO is an observable, integrated effect
test facility with a 1/8
scale of the APR-1400,
and is an innovative educational platform.
Feasibility test bed for 4th industrial technology
and advanced passive system of NPPs,
Education platform for nuclear engineering.
URI-LO conducts research on passive safety
technology and 4th industrial revolution
technology to improve the safety of nuclear
power plants.
URI-LO intuitively delivers correct information
on nuclear power plant safety through system
simplification and visualization
