RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AT THE TRIGA MAINZ

摘要

The TRIGA Mark Ⅱ research reactor of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz is in operation since 1965 with only a few month shut-down for the refurbishment of the cooling circuits. It can be operated in the steady state mode with a maximum power of 100 kW_(th) and in the pulse mode with a peak power of 250 MW_(th). The operation of the reactor will last at least until the year 2010. The paper gives a survey of the research programmes carried out at the TRIGA Mainz. It covers a wide range of applications in nuclear chemistry, nuclear- and particle physics, neutron activation analysis and isotope production for various purposes.
