Bowman, C D

Much progress has been made in WNR/PSR facility development and in planning and implementing a full research program since the last ICANS meeting. Construction of the PSR continues on schedule, a significant neutron scattering research program is under way at the WNR that can continue through the construction period, and a formal neutron scattering user program was begun this year. The problem of bothersome backgrounds at the WNR has been solved, and a versatile and effective target-moderator design has been developed. Plans are being implemented for spectrometer construction, data collection and analyses facilities, and a major augmentation in experimental space.
