Nuclear researchers run reactors. It’s pretty much the only commercially viable way to test the effects of neutron bombardment on materials. They typically aren’t power plants, because steam turbines are a lot more work to operate and research reactors are typically intermittent and low power (in terms of the electrical grid)
