Let's start your mission at the OPAL Neutron Scattering Facility at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation in Lucas Heights, Australia. At the Bragg Institute, you find today 9 running instruments and 4 more under construction. It includes powder diffraction, small angle scattering, reflectometry, Laue diffraction, strain scanning and various kinds of spectroscopy. User groups come from all over the world, including Australia, Asia, America and Europe. Details can be found under the web-page: http://www.ansto.gov.au/bragg
The OPAL reactor became critical in 2007 and replaced the well used, but outdated Australian source HIFAR, which has been decommissioned.
