Scoping workshop 2009

For New Guides, Instruments and Sample-Environment Apparatus at OPAL

27-28 August 2009, at ANSTO, Sydney, Australia Program

In the Australian Government’s latest Budget of 12^th May 2009, it was announced that ANSTO will receive $37M of new capital funding for a new split cold guide at the OPAL Reactor, along with three new instruments (SANS, high-resolution spectroscopy and neutron radiography/tomography/imaging) and further sample-environment apparatus.
