Abstract
The goals of construction of the BIGR reactor, which was commissioned in 1977 at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics, are reviewed. The primary avenues of research at BIGR are outlined. A brief description of the neutron-physics parameters of the reactor and the characteristic shapes of generated fission pulses is given. The possible sites for installation of objects to be irradiated are specified. Devices enhancing the irradiation capacity of the reactor are characterized. Current data on various research applications of the reactor are summarized.
