Texas Engineering Experiment Station, Texas A and M University System, Nuclear Science Center

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5485123
The Nuclear Science Center is operated by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station as a service to the Texas A M University System and the State of Texas. The Nuclear Science Center provides services to researchers and/or faculty from Texas A M University, other colleges and universities, government agencies and private industry. The Nuclear Science Center is recognized primarily for providing radio-isotopes and other nuclear irradiation services for research, academic, medical and industrial applications and as a teaching and nuclear training facility. This report covers the period from January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990. During 1990, total operating hours of the reactor increased over 1989 values. The total experiment hours were much higher than 1989 with an increase in sample irradiation hours. Irradiation experiments continued to increase and there was a decrease in irradiation cell and beam port experiment hours compared to 1989. Beam port utilization was down due to the unavailability of the beam ports during upgrades that were being performed. Commercial utilization and the number of tours decreased slightly. There were no changes made to the site area during this reporting period and no changes were made to the security or emergency plans. 195 refs., 3 figs., 24 tabs.
