2 equipment types
  • X-ray & neutron

    general-purpose small-angle neutron scattering instrument

  • X-ray & neutron

    neutron imaging instrument

  • X-ray & neutron

    neutron powder diffraction instrument

  • X-ray & neutron

    HFIR thermal beam tubes HB-1/HB-3 feed polarized and conventional triple-axis spectrometers plus a four-circle diffractometer; HB-2 supports powder, wide-angle and residual-stress diffraction.

  • Laboratory equipment

    The current HFIR suite includes BIO-SANS, CTAX, DEMAND, GP-SANS, HIDRA, IMAGINE-X, MARS, POWDER, PTAX, TAX, VERITAS and WAND2 among its named instruments.

Registry scope evidence

  • Facility type: reactor-based neutron user facility.
  • Access model: peer-reviewed User Program; no charge for publishable nonproprietary work; industrial/proprietary route available.
  • Combined capacity: HFIR and SNS jointly advertise thirty neutron instruments across multiple science areas.
  • Official-source, facility-specific instrument evidence is available. Current configuration, availability, price, and project fit require confirmation.
