3. When You Arrive

This stage takes you from arriving at ORNL gate to conducting your experiment.

Arrive at the ORNL Visitor's Center

Once you enter ORNL, you must go to the Visitor's Center to check in and pick up your badge. The Visitor's Center will direct you to the appropriate facility. Returning users may go directly to the Central Laboratory and Office building on Chestnut Ridge or to the HFIR facility.  Maps describing directions to ORNL, SNS and HFIR area are available from ORNL's Visitor Information website.

Find Your Instrument Contact

After you check-in at the User Office, the User Office staff will give you directions to the instrument where you will be working. The instrument staff and others will complete the orientation process and authorize you to begin your experiment.
The User Office has developed a checklist for users that will be completed during their stay in Oak Ridge.
