GLEEP stood for graphite low energy experimental pile, and it was low energy producing about 100 kilowatts. It was an air cooled reactor with 676 fuel channels. GLEEP was used to measure nucli, and create radioactive isotopes to be used in the medical field. The reactor achieved criticality August 15, 1947.
GLEEP also had two sister reactors, BEPO, completed June 3rd 1948. (Also at Harwell). And ZEEP, which achieved criticality September 5th, 1945 in Montreal at Chalk River Laboratories.
