The National Low-Temperature Neutron Irradiation Facility (NLTNIF), now constructed and currently being evaluated, will provide high radiation intensities and special environmental and testing conditions for qualified experiments at no cost to users. The NLTNIF will be of interest for both basic and applied research on fusion reactor materials. A general description and major specifications of the facility are presented along with recent results of the performance tests. In addition, a description is given of the procedure and experimental assemblies needed to perform experiments in the NLTNIF.
