Nuclear Training Opportunities at the Neutron Data Measurement Facilities of the Joint Research Centre

The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the European Joint Research Centre (JRC) is equipped with a unique scientific infrastructure for highly accurate neutron cross-section measurements. It is a combination of a 150 MeV linear electron accelerator with neutron time-of-flight facility and a 7 MV light-ion Van de Graaff accelerator. The complementary research capabilities offered at the two accelerators create excellent opportunities for training. The institute hosts a number of PhD and post-doctoral fellows, visiting scientists and trainees every year. To respond to demands from the educational world the institute organises several hands-on training courses at university level. These regular training courses have the objective to initiate graduate or post-graduate students into the nuclear data field via exciting experiments at the appropriate level. This paper describes the neutron data facilities and nuclear training activities more in detail.
