Technical Meeting on Commercial Products and Services of
Research Reactors

28 June–2 July, 2010, IAEA, Vienna

The TRIGA Mark II research reactor of the Jožef Stefan Institute has been continuously operating since the year 1966. The currently offered services include: (1) Neutron activation analysis in both instrumental and radiochemical modes; (2) neutron irradiation of various kinds of materials intended to be used for research and applicative purposes; (3) training and education of university students as well as on-job training of staff working in public and private institutions, (4) verification of computer codes and nuclear data, comprising primarily criticality calculations and neutron flux distribution studies and (5) testing and development of a digital reactivity meter. The paper briefly describes the aforementioned activities and shows that even such small reactors are still indispensable in nuclear science and technology.
