Radiation Science
The Radiation Science team at AWE holds responsibility for Hardness & Vulnerability activities. The team consists of scientists and engineers with appropriate specialist theoretical knowledge, modelling and experimental competencies.
Neutron Irradiation Services
We are able to support military and commercial applications such as:
- Neutron Activation Analysis
- Simulation of criticality excursions
- Simulation (neutron effects) of nuclear weapon detonation on small to large components, subassemblies and systems
- Calibration of neutron detectors and dosimetry
- Support to material ageing studies in radiation environments includes: organics, fissile, metallics, memory alloys and other materials
- Neutron radiography (capability developing)
AWE can provide a broad range of irradiation services besides those above. Teams of specialists from a range of disciplines support the activities of ASP at AWE.
