Description
McMaster University is home to a unique suite of facilities in a Canadian university environment, welcoming researchers from across Canada and abroad. In addition to Canada’s most powerful nuclear research reactor, the McMaster Nuclear Reactor, McMaster University is the location of six particle accelerators which enable experimental programs in non-invasive assessment of biological composition; effects of radiation on biological systems; production of radioisotopes; and imaging of materials in support of nuclear power generation aging management. Accelerator configurations are flexible depending on experimental requirements, and within the scope of regulatory requirements. Presented is a brief history, current state and projects, and future plans of the accelerator facilities.
