Equipment
Irradiation facility with water activation loop at JSI TRIGA reactor
The activated water irradiator on the TRIGA detector at the IJS will serve as a well-defined and stable source of high-energy characteristic gamma rays and neutrons. It will enable various experiments based on the water activation process, validation of computational methods, calibration of the detector, gamma spectrometry and dose field measurements, integral cross-section measurements, etc. It consists of various equipment: a) gamma and neutron detectors and corresponding measuring instruments, b) equipment for the water loop (pump, valves, flow metre), c) equipment for the control of the loop, d) production of specific custom-made products (concrete blocks - shielding, irradiation area, etc.).

PhD Luka Snoj
The irradiation facility with a water activation loop will be accessible in the reactor hall of JSI TRIGA the research reactor. The individual components are functional, but the entire facility has not yet been commissioned due to procurement, production delays, etc, which were much longer than first anticipated (COVID). The purchase/construction of the remaining equipment will be completed (or delivered) in 2023 (partially also within Paket21).
