Large Volume Irradiations

  • Two “RIFLS” irradiation facilities are available for samples up to 75.0 x 6.0 cm in size. These sites have a thermal neutron flux of 6 to 9 x 1012 n/cm2•s
  • These irradiations can be done with or without addition of a cadmium liner for fast neutron irradiations.
  • One additional irradiation site exists for oversize samples (up to 75.0 x 12.5 cm) with a thermal neutron flux of 5 x 1012 n/cm2•s
  • Irradiation times can range from hours to weeks.
