No An explosion such as the one that occurred in the n° 4 reactor of the Chernobyl power plant due to a runaway fission reaction cannot happen with the ILL’s reactor. The equivalent scenario for resea

The most serious accident would be a core meltdown following the loss of the water inventory. It is on the basis of this extremely pessimistic scenario that the Institute's internal emergency plan (PU

the 10th International Topical Meeting on Neutron Radiography (ITMNR-10) will be held in Village Club Les Balcons du Lac d'Annecy, France, from October 12-16, 2026.  This will be the 10th confere

COW before TYREX A very first test of a 3 He filter was performed at the ILL on D3 in 1990 [1] using the spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) to polarise the gas. It was promising but the relaxation t

Filling up the spin filter with polarised helium-3 The short film shown here was recorded during the historical experiment of 1996 [1] when the first spin filter was produced and then tested on the IL

The ILL concluded 2025 operations at the end of October. in total, more than 1800 scientists came on site to perform close to 1400 experiments. The high-flux reactor will RESTART IN late March 2026 fo
