Neutron scattering encompasses all scientific techniques whereby the deflection of neutron radiation is used as a scientific probe. Neutrons readily interact with atomic nuclei and magnetic fields from unpaired electrons, making a useful probe of both structure and magnetic order. Neutron Scattering...

Neutron radiography, also known as n-ray radiography,is a very efficient tool to enhance investigations in the field of non-destructive testing as well as in many fundamental research applications As the name implies, a neutron beam penetrates the specimen to be studied. This beam is attenuated by the...

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a nuclear process used for determining the concentrations of elements in a vast amount of materials. NAA allows discrete sampling of elements as it disregards the chemical form of a sample, and focuses solely on its nucleus. The method is based on neutron activation...

Research and Test Reactors Activities A research reactor’s key output is the radiation it produces, not the very minor amount of heat energy produced. The most common use of this radiation (primarily neutrons and gamma rays) is for experiments. Some experiments require more of one type radiation...
