Abstract

After 21 years of operation at the University of Toronto, the SLOWPOKE Reactor Facility is still used predominantly for the neutron activation analysis of a wide range of samples in both research and undergraduate teaching laboratories. A large number of researchers and students continue to take advantage of the five on-site gamma-ray spectrometers available for general use. The usage patterns of the low flux SLOWPOKE-2 reactor are addressed and an assessment is made of the relative continuing usefulness of the reactor facility to a range of research areas and teaching groups, with specific examples to illustrate the broad cross-section of use.
