Handling equipment for the Hot Fuel Examination Facility/North Neutron Radiography Facility

The addition of a neutron-radiography capability to the Hot Fuel Examination Facility/North (HFEF/N) has required special handling equipment for control of the reactor neutron beam and for positioning radiography specimens and transfer foils. The HFEF/N Neutron Radiography Facility uses a TRIGA-type reactor as the neutron source for radiography. The facility allows the radiography of irradiated specimens without removing them from the HFEF/N main-cell environment. The facility is designed so two more radiography stations can be added in the future, one in-cell in the path of the east neutron beam, and one out-of-cell in the path of the presently blocked north beam
