Utilization of the TRIGA MARK II research reactor in Ljubljana

The TRIGA reactor has been currently utilized in the following projects: neutron activation analysis (determination of concentration levels of some elements in connection with studies concerning environmental protection, etc.), real time neutron radiography and neutron tomography (intake of water into construction materials, application of neutron radiography in metallurgy and archaeology), boron neutron capture therapy (European Union project), study of radiation damage in Si detectors and neutron induced gamma radiation in building materials. The TRIGA reactor is involved also in the training for the needs of the Nuclear Power Plant Krsko. Practical exercises on the reactor are performed also by the students of physics and post-graduate students of nuclear engineering. (authors)
