The McMaster University Nuclear Reactor (MNR) research facilities

The McMaster University Nuclear Reactor (MNR) is a unique Canadian facility in a university environment welcoming researchers from across Canada and abroad. The irradiation and analytical facilities available cover a broad spectrum of nuclear analytical techniques from standard INAA to fully automated counting systems for prompt gamma activation analysis and delayed neutron counting. In addition, neutron beams provide for a wide spectrum of applied and basic nuclear research applications. This paper describes the state-of-the-art facilities available at McMaster.
