High Flux Isotope Reactor
The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in Oak Ridge, TN, is a premier reactor-based neutron source in the United States, operating since 1965 with a steady output of 85 megawatts. It serves over 500 researchers annually, facilitating groundbreaking studies in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and biology through its advanced neutron scattering facilities.
HFIR not only contributes to fundamental and applied research but also plays a vital role in isotope production for medical, industrial, and research applications. Its capabilities extend to gamma irradiation studies, neutron activation analysis, and have led to significant discoveries that enhance various everyday products, including solar cells, hard drives, pharmaceuticals, and bio-fuels.
