Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Aerial view of LANSCE, looking east to west. Additional facilities at Los Alamos National Laboratory are visible to the west:
  1. Lujan Center: Creates neutrons used in the materials, engineering, chemistry, nanotechnology, biological, medical, and geological sciences. Neutron scattering is used to research, for example, high explosives for the weapons program.
  2. Weapons Neutron Research: Provides nuclear data crucial to the Stockpile Stewardship Program as well as for other basic, applied, and defense-related research.
  3. Proton Radiography: Uses 800-MeV protons for imaging dynamic experiments in support of national and international weapons science and the Stockpile Stewardship Program.
  4. Isotope Production Facility: Produces radioactive isotopes for medicine and research that are in short supply. For example, enough strontium-82 is produced to aid 20,000 heart patients each month.
  5. Ultracold Neutrons: Generates the most intense, ultracold neutrons in the world. Cold neutrons are needed for experiments on the fundamental laws of physics and aid in the quest for new particles.
  6. Materials Test Station: Tests materials and fuels for use in advanced fast reactors. MTS is under development.
  7. Linear Accelerator: Supports all of these facilities.
