Summary

[edit]
Description

THE 20-METER LONG OAK RIDGE ELECTRON LINEAR ACCELERATOR (ORELA) OPERATED BY THE PHYSICS DIVISION OF ORNL.

BURSTS OF ELECTRONS EJECTED FROM THE ELETRON "GUN" IN THE FOREGROUND (LARGE CYLINDER) TRAVEL DOWN A LINEAR WAVE GUIDE AND ARE BOOSTED TO 140-MEV ENERGY. AT THE FAR END OF THE ACCELERATOR THE ELECTRONS HIT A TANTALUM TARGET AND PRODUCE NEUTRONS. THESE NEUTRONS ARE USED TO STUDY THE STRUCTURE OF THE NUCLEUS, AND TO SUPPLY DATA FOR FUSION AND FISSION REACTORS.
