OPAL and its cold neutron source operating again

The OPAL Reactor resumed routine operation today following a planned three and a half week shutdown. 

 

The cold neutron source has also been operating since Thursday 10th December, and we are optimistic that user experiments can now resume on our PLATYPUS reflectometer and QUOKKA small-angle neutron scattering instrument.

 

Schedules for OPAL and its neutron beam instruments are avaliable on the web.
