An introduction into the topic of nuclear research reactors (RR) is given in the preceding section on “Key Features of Nuclear Research Reactors”. This chapter deals with the object-based image analysis of two examples for RR. For these the applicability of the interpretation key developed in the previous chapters is investigated.
The characteristic key features of objects for research reactors used here are a rectangular buildings measuring about 40m × 40m (for neutron beam production reactors). If the reactor is a pool-type reactor, then the building is cylindrical with a dome-shaped roof. Contiguous to the reactor is a long neutron guide hall measuring 30m × 50m.
