Riassunto

Excerpt from Nist Reactor: Summary of Activities, July 1988 Through June 1989

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (nist) research reactor serves the needs of nist, other government agencies, universities, and industries as a national center for the application of neutron methods to a broad range of problems of national interest. The Reactor Radiation Division has a threefold mission: to operate the reactor in the most cost effective manner possible while protecting the public safety; to perform research on a broad range of problems in materials-related science and to develop new or improved methods for the application of neutrons; and to operate a national user center, providing state-of-the-art neutron measurement capabilities to U S. Researchers. The Division staff works closely with many other organiza tions both within nist and outside on research of mutual interest. The extent of these cooperative and collaborative programs has expanded steadily since the reactor came on line. They can be expected to grow even further as the Cold Neutron Research Facility, which will provide 15 additional instruments, comes on line over the next 3 years.

The reactor operates at 20 MN and supports over 25 research facilities, with an additional 15 becoming available as part of the Cold Neutron Project. During the period covered by this report, over 1160 irradiations were performed, and more than 350 researchers made use of the facilities, in spite of an operating schedule that was seriously curtailed as a result of construction activities.

This report summarizes the work done which is dependent on the reactor including a large number of programs outside the Division. The first section summarizes the programs carried out by scientists in the Reactor Radiation Division and their collaborators. The second section summarizes nist work originating outside nist for which the Division provides reactor facilities and irradiation services. The remaining sections are self-explanatory.
