        Resumo

        Guided tours of the RA-6 nuclear research reactor provide a unique opportunity to bring students, teachers, researchers, and the general public closer to the reality of this technology. They aim to promote a deeper understanding of its operation, facilities, applications, and safety protocols, with the goal of dispelling misconceptions, overcoming myths, and alleviating associated fears. Year after year, from 2018, excluding the pandemic period, the number of visitors has increased, reaching over 3000 individuals in 2023 from Argentina and various regions of Latin America and the world. This increase has had a positive impact on both the community and public perception regarding nuclear technology.
