Open day on Saturday October 15th 2011

The staff of the neutron source welcomes the public at this day of open doors to inform about the basic neutron research, the industrial and medical applications of neutrons and about the safety features of the facility. At the guided tours, the visitors can take a look into the reactor pool, see the scientific instruments of the experimental hall and neutron guide hall. 

 

Programme 11 - 18h

 

Guided tours

You can participate on a guided tour of the FRM II.

Guided by scientists, groups can have a look on the open reactorpool from the visitors' window and get explanations of the different instruments in the experimental hall and the neutron guide hall.

Short term changes of the programme are possible.

ATTENTION! THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IS LIMITED!
