ILL founding papers

In 1971 and 1972, 20 founding papers were published by teams from both the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA) involved in the design and building of the High-Flux Reactor (RHF).

They were published in the now defunct and sold out CEA newsletter: Bulletin d'Informations Scientifiques et Techniques du CEA (BIST)

Founded in January 1967 and built near the CEN Grenoble, the Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin was responsible for the construction of a high-flux reactor which went into operation in December 1971. In this issue, an article outlining the aims and organisation of the Institute is followed by a complete description of the reactor, written by the various specialists who took part in the project.

We propose here a digital version of the hard-to-find BIST no 165 and BIST no 166 with the approval of the CEA (email of 10 Oct. 2016, from Miss Anne-Sophie Bayle - Intellectual Property Lawyer, Head of intellectual property rights and computing sector).
