Commonly christened by ENEA the "Dragon Project", it was launched in 1959 at the Winfrith Heath nuclear research establishment of the United Kingdom, after the Steering Committee of Agency invited top level specialists in nuclear science and engineering from its Members and Associate countries and from EURATOM Commission to examine the most practical and fruitful methods of collaboration in the field of an experimental and prototype reactor.
