Excerpt from Nbs Reactor: Summary of Activities, July 1972 to June 1973The National Bureau of Standards Reactor was built not only to serve the needs of the nbs but also those of the greater washington Scientific Community and other government agencies. The Reactor Radiation Division was established to operate the reactor and to foster its scientific and technological use. Toward this end, the Division has a small nucleus of scientists experienced in the use of reactors for a wide range of seien tific and technical problems. In addition to pursuing their own research and developing sophisticated experimental facilities, they actively seek out and encourage collaboration with other scientists, engaged in chal lenging programs, whose work can benefit from use of the reactor, but who as yet do not have the reactor experience necessary to take full advantage of the facilities available. The Division also provides irradiation services to a wide variety of users as well as engineering and other technical services.The reactor operates at 10 MW and is designed to provide a broad spectrum of facilities ranging from intense neutron beams to extensive irradiation facilities, making it one of the most versatile high flux research reactors in the country. Thus it is able to serve a large number of scientists and engineers in a broad range of activities both within and outside the nbs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
