Operations

The Materials Research Facility has a scientific team and operational team to support experiments and sample preparation.

The recipe and methods for sample preparation and examination are determined together with the customer to provide result-driven support. Non-active sample preparation and testing can be performed as trials (to determine the methodology) or for comparison against the irradiated materials. The active sample preparation will be performed by the operational team in the controlled area. After sample preparation, the sample will be loaded in the scientific instrument and handed over to the scientific team in the control room to perform the scientific evaluation.

All work on active samples will be executed in shielded facilities by the operational team. If customers want to perform the scientific examination themselves, the scientific team will provide equipment specific training and give support when required.
