Abstract: Being put into operation in December 1969, the BOR-60 reactor has been operating successfully for more than 54 years at design parameters without replacements of the main process equipment and sodium of the primary and secondary cooling circuits. Its operating experience was used in the development of BN-350 and -600 reactors. The experience of the BOR-60 operation and experimental studies was used to develop a concept of a MBIR multi-purpose research fast reactor currently being built at the site of the JSC "SSC RIAR". The article presents the main results of the BOR-60 operation and experimental studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
