Structural Properties Laboratory now open at INL
Earlier this week, Idaho National Laboratory announced that its Structural Properties Laboratory (SPL) has been fully operational since January. Located at INL’s Materials and Fuels Complex, the SPL houses the lab’s first new hot cell in 50 years.
The MU Research Reactor (10 MWth) is a light water reactor that supports materials science research. Capabilities include in-core irradiation positions up to 1014 n/cm2/sec; neutron scattering facilities (neutron triple-axis spectrometer, reflectometer, neutron powder diffractometer); and Post Irradiation Examination equipment (hotcell, SEM, XRF, ICP-MS, NAA, PGNAA, Raman, hardness/tensile testing).
