Echidna and Wombat

The two powder diffractometers have made their submissions for operating licences to ARPANSA, and we are hopeful of getting these licences very soon.

On Wombat, one of the most common applications will be mapping out phase diagrams over temperature.

Now that OPAL has restarted, commissioning on Wombat with neutrons has recommenced, and the instrument has been tested with the radial collimator and the cryofurnace both operating, see photo above.
