Californium User Facility for Neutron Science

The Californium Facility processes and encapsulates the national supply of ²⁵²Cf, produced at the neighboring High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and stores the national inventory of ²⁵²Cf neutron sources for the Californium Industrial, University, and Medical Loan Programs of the U.S Department of Energy (DOE).

The Californium User Facility for Neutron Science was established to promote research and applications of ²⁵²Cf by taking advantage of the existing Californium Facility Infrastructure.
