Hero of the day 
Rosatom provides nuclear fuel for the Dalat research reactor in Vietnam The Soviet-redesigned reactor has been operating on-site since 1984. It was installed instead of the American-designed TRIGA Mark-2 research reactor that first went into service in 1963 but was shut down during active combat operations in Vietnam. INTERVIEW
