Nuclear facilities at Sandia National Laboratories are used in advanced Nuclear Technologies, Radiation Effects, and Radioisotope production research, which address diverse problems in national security, and energy and the environment. Our nuclear engineering and science base provides a broad capability for development, application, and testing of nuclear systems. Our capabilities include the ability to analyze and model nuclear systems and experiments and to predict and measure their performance.

Test Reactors and Large-Scale Experimental Facilities Provide a Unique and Differentiating Strength for Sandia's Nuclear Energy and Technology Programs.

	The Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) is used to perform in-pile experiments for radiation effects, reactor development and safety experiments.
	The Sandia Pulse Reactor III (SPR III) provides intense neutron bursts for radiation effects testing of materials and electronics.
	The Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) provides a single structure for performing a wide diversity of gamma irradiation experiments. (Link requires Acrobat Reader).
	The Radiation Metrology Laboratory (RML) provides radiation measurement services to Sandia's reactors, isotopic sources, and accelerator facilities.
	A Hot Cell Facility provides full capability to handle and analyze radioactive material.   For information, contact: Ken Reil Applied Nuclear Technology Sandia National Laboratories P.O.
