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.
