What happened

Russia’s PIK and MBIR research reactors are the only ones in the world that cover the entire spectrum of neutron flux research, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev said at a Presidential Council for Science and Education meeting chaired by Vladimir Putin.

Claim 1: “Russia’s PIK and MBIR research reactors are the only ones in the world that cover the entire spectrum of neutron flux research”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that these reactors are the 'only ones in the world' to cover the entire neutron flux spectrum is presented as a quote from Rosatom in one web search result. While other sources confirm the existence and technical specifications of the MBIR reactor, there is no independent third-party verification or scientific consensus provided in the evidence to corroborate the 'only ones in the world' exclusivity claim.
