The NRAD facility uses a 250 kW TRIGA reactor as a source of neutrons and is integrated with the hot cell such that highly radioactive specimens can be radiographed without removing them from the hot cell environment. In 1981, a second beam tube was added to the NRAD facility. This second radiography station is located in a separate shielded addition to HFEF and permits neutron radiography of irradiated or unirradiated specimens from other facilities without subjecting them to the alpha contaminated hot cell environment. The NRAD facility reactor is completely dedicated to neutron radiography, and both beams are optimized for neutron radiography of highly radioactive nuclear fuels.
