The NRC's Neutron Program for Materials Research (NPMR) is located at CHALK RIVER inside Atomic Energy of Canada's laboratory campus, about two hours west of Ottawa. A suite of five neutron spectrometers at the NRU (National Research Universal) reactor are used to explore materials of all kinds, steels, biological tissue, composites, nanoscale structures, alloys and superconductors, to support research programs in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, earth sciences and engineering.
Access to the facility is granted on the basis of scientific merit, free of charge to research destined for the open literature. Please contact NRC-SIMS at CHALK RIVER before you visit. ( Niki.Schrie@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca )
