The SINQ facility

SINQ is designed as a neutron source mainly for research with extracted beams of thermal and cold neutrons, but hosts also facilities for isotope production and neutron activation analysis. Except for its different process of releasing the neutrons from matter, it resembles closely a medium flux research reactor for most of its users. In the following sections more information about the SINQ facility can be found:
