{{Distinguish|text = the Materials Testing Reactor, an early reactor that operated in Idaho from 1952 to 1970}}

A materials testing reactor (MTR) is a high-flux research nuclear reactor aimed at studying materials exposed to a high neutron flux.

Examples

Materials testing reactors include:

BR2, the Belgian Reactor 2, moderated with a paraboloid beryllium matrix, in operation at SCK CEN since 1962.
The Materials Testing Reactor (MTR), an early reactor that operated in Idaho from 1952-1970.
Dounreay Materials Testing Reactor, a Dido class reactor in the United Kingdom.
ETRR-2, at the nuclear research center in Inshas, Egypt.
Jules Horowitz Reactor, under construction at the Cadarache nuclear facility in southern France.
Research reactor in Petten, the Netherlands.
Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology (PINSTECH) in Pakistan.
Reactor Technology Complex of the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho, United States.
RV-1 nuclear reactor in Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research, Venezuela.
SAFARI-1, outside of Pretoria, South Africa, also used to produce medical isotopes.
RSG G.A Siwabessy in Serpong, Indonesia.
