During its lifetime, NRU made a powerful and lasting contribution to many areas of nuclear science. These include neutron physics, fuel and materials research for power reactor development, operations and life extension research, and perhaps most notably, nuclear medicine, through the production of medical isotopes.<\/p>\n<p>NRU contains a wealth of materials and components irradiated in a heavy water environment over a wide range of temperatures (35 \u00b0C to 310 \u00b0C) flux, and neutron spectrum since 1957 (365,000 hrs) and since NRU\u2019s 1974 vessel replacement (270,000 hrs).<\/p>\n<p>CNL has developed a program to harvest these materials to provide solutions to meet research and industry needs.<\/p>\n<p>The NRU inventory includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Structural materials, including steels, inconels, zirconium, aluminum, &amp; concrete<\/li>\n<li>A thermal graphite column<\/li>\n<li>Flux detectors<\/li>\n<li>Reactor equipment, including pumps<\/li>\n<li>Elastomers\/seals<\/li>\n<li>Electrical cables Research opportunities<\/li>\n<li>Long term operations of CANDU Calandria vessels and other reactor components<\/li>\n<li>Development of dosimetry methodology<\/li>\n<li>Effect of manufacturing origin on zircomium mechanical properties<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on zirconium materials<\/li>\n<li>Effect of microstructure evolution on delayed hydride cracking due to exposure to varied flux<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on stainless steel<\/li>\n<li>Effect of temperature and dose rate on helium bubble evolution in Inconel<\/li>\n<li>Comparison of artefacts against industry data<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on concrete and structural materials, including impacts to structural performance<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on graphite<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on flux detectors<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation effects on instrument control cables<\/li>\n<li>Comparison welds between alloys from out-of-core assemblies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1607612441779{margin-top: 64px !important;margin-bottom: 64px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#efefef&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>How to participate<\/h2>\n<p>This program is intended to be a collaborative research project with three possible ways new partners can participate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Financial contributions<\/li>\n<li>In-kind contributions<\/li>\n<li>Combination of financial and in-kind contributions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CNL will perform research, co-ordinate collaborative efforts, manage administrative details, and organize a joint steering committee to oversee the project based on input from industry and other customers.
