elementary, middle school, high school, and college students; re latives and friends; faculty; current and prospective clients; national laboratory and industrial scientists and engineers; and state, federal and international officials. The Radiation Center is a significant positive attraction on campus because visitors leave with a good impression of the facility and of Oregon State University.

The Radiation Center projects databa se continues to provide a useful way of tracking the many different aspects of work at the facility. The number of projects supported this year was 111. Reactor related projects compr ised 78% of all projects.

The total research dollars in some way supported by the Radia tion Center, as reported by our re searc hers, was$ I I million.

The actual total is likely higher. This year the Radiation Center provided service to 66 different organizations /institutions, 44 %

of which were from other states and 39% of which were from outside the U. S. and Canada. So, while the Center's primary mission is local, it is also a facility with a national and interna tional clientele.

elements for special in-core irradiations, an in-core irradiation

tube, and a cadmium - lined in -core irradiation tube for experi

ments requiring a high energy neutron flux.

The pneumatic transfer facility (called a Rabbit) enables

samples to be inserted and removed from the core in four to five seconds. Consequently, this facility is normally used for

neutron activation analysis involving short-lived radionu

clides. On the other hand, the rotating rack is used for much

longer irradiation of samples ( e.g., hours). The rack consists of a circular array of 40 tubular positions, each of which can

hold two sample tubes. Rotation of the rack ensures that each

sample will receive an identical irradiation.

The reactor's thermal column consists of a large stack of

graphite blocks which slows down neutrons from the reac tor core in order to increase thermal neutron activation of

samples. Over 99% of the neutrons in the thermal column

are thermal neutrons. Graphite blocks are removed from the

thermal column to enable samples to be positioned inside for irradiation.

The beam ports are tubular penetrations in the reactor's main

concrete shield which enable neutron and gamma radiation to

stream from the core when a beam port's shield plugs are re

moved. The neutron radiography facility utilized the tangential

beam port (beam port #3) to produce ASTM E545 category I radiography capability. The other beam ports are available for

a variety of experiments. *

Project Users Organization Name Project Title Description Funding Our goal is to irradiate Antimony pellets in order

2205 Privitera Kavli Institute for Irradiation of Sb to 5 mCi ofSb-124 for to achieve 5 mCi activity. Up to 5 grams of pellet s University of Chicago Cosmo logical Physics DAMIC-M are available. Pellets wi ll be housed in in 0.5 in diameter x 1 in length polyethylene vial during

irradiation.

Avalanche Energy is a VC backed startup developing a small compact deuterium-deuteriwn fusion device which has applications as a high-flux neutron source and longer tem1 potentially for energy generation. This sma ll plasma device 2206 Langtry Ava lanche E nergy Compact Neutron Generator (12 cm diameter) combines aspects of an ion trap Avalanche Energy
