The cold neutron beam instruments makes the HANARO contribute
to the increase of users as well as the basic research.
Efforts are being made to increase the industrial application of neutron
science and the spin-off technologies acquired during the construction
and operation of the beam facilities.
The introduction of cold neutron NAA systems are expected to enlarge
the application of activation analysis.
As for the development of fission Mo production technology, a hot
demonstration of developed technology is expected to be made within
this year.
The irradiation tests and the development of relevant technologies are
contributing to the development of research reactor systems, the
development of future nuclear energy systems and new advanced
materials.
