Current status of TRR-II neutron-spectrometer designs

The objective of the Taiwan Research Reactor project is to modify the Taiwan Research Reactor (TRR) into a multi-purpose medium-flux research reactor (TRR-II). The project started in 1998, and the estimated maximum unperturbed thermal neutron flux (E<0.625 eV) of the new reactor is approximately 2.7×1014 n/cm2 s. The major application areas of TRR-II are: neutron scattering in material and biological researches, material tests, neutron-activation analyses, isotope production and industrial applications.
