On the use and usefulness of SLOWPOKE-Toronto

  • 1. Toronto Univ., ON (Canada). Dept. of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry

Description

After 21 years of operation at the University of Toronto, the SLOWPOKE Reactor Facility is still used predominantly for the neutron activation analysis of a wide range of samples in both research and undergraduate teaching laboratories. A large number of researchers and students continue to take advantage of the five on-site gamma-ray spectrometers available for general use. The usage patterns of the low flux SLOWPOKE-2 reactor are addressed and an assessment is made of the relative continuing usefulness of the reactor facility to a range of research areas and teaching groups, with specific examples to illustrate the broad cross-section of use.
