The Centre for Neutron Activation Analysis (CNAA) at MNR is a unique facility among Canadian universities that offers commercial irradiation services to academic and industrial clients. Designed to be user-friendly, it has simple, easy-to-use automatic irradiation and counting systems. In addition to irradiation terminals within the reactor containment building, the CNAA has fully equipped analytical labs in the adjacent High Level Laboratory Facility with an additional irradiation terminal, gamma counting equipment and sample preparation areas.
