23 Jan (NucNet): The Dutch government has confirmed it will invest 38 million euro (49 million US dollars) in the development a project that will broaden the scope of research work being carried out at the Higher Education Reactor at Delft University of Technology.
The university said the project, known as Oyster, will allow scientists to use a so-called Cold Source that can slow down the speed of neutrons.
This means that the particles can be more accurately guided and used for a wide variety of applications, such as material research for nuclear reactors, solar cells and batteries, and also tracing and treating cancer.
