The JINR staff members including experts from the Programme Advisory Committee for Condensed Matter Physics actively discuss the future neutrons source. The future facility will gradually replace the IBR-2 facility and continue implementing such tasks as development of new medicine, functional materials and nanomaterials as well as solving other challenges. Meanwhile, the existing facilities – the fast pulsed reactor, IREN (Intense Resonance Neutron source) as well as modern equipment in the Centre of Raman Spectroscopy – operate successfully in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics.
