In The Spotlight
Neutrons reveal unseen secrets
Scientists at the NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre(NRC-CNBC) in Chalk River have handled metal ranging from pieces of the ill-fated Challenger and Colombia Space Shuttles to train rails implicated in ecological disasters in Alberta. In those cases and others, their goal was to find out what went wrong.
But knowing what goes on inside metals even before such failures occur can help the designers and engineers that use them. This is why Dr. Ron Rogge and his colleagues are helping Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Atlantic — one of seven DRDC establishments operated by the Department of National Defence — make Canadian submarines safer.
NRC-CNBC is providing researchers from across Canada and around the world with the specialized facilities they require to probe materials and matter. Our centre enables experiments in a variety of fields including physics, chemistry, bioscience, earth science and engineering.
