On the Scientific Utilisation of Low Power Research Reactors

摘要

It has been demonstrated on sevral presented examples that high quality experiments of basic, interdisciplinary as well as applied research which could be competitive on an international level can be effectively carried out at the medium power research reactor LVR-15 in Rez. The research can cover a large scale of experimental investigations related tostructure studies of new materials, structure phase transformations, chemistry, material testing, industrial product qualification, tracing of elements (e.g. in environmental, chemical, geological and biological samples), cultural heritage, etc. Some more details about the research in NPL can be found on the web page http:/eutron.ujf.cas.cz/enpl/ research. Finally, it should be pointed out that all instruments of NPI are opened to external users and the measurements can be free when a new proposal is submitted through CANAM-ACCESS project.
