Abstract

TRIGA type research reactors, even relatively new ones, are originally equipped with rather obsolete irradiation pneumatic transfer systems. Therefore, the irradiation system of Slovenian TRIGA Mark II system was renewed in 2015 to improve the overall quality of irradiations. This year, the system was upgraded to allow for automated short irradiations under more thermalized neutron flux. The modernization includes also a so-called “triangular” channel, allowing for in-core irradiation of samples up to 5 cm in diameter and a horizontal channel allowing for irradiations of objects under homogeneous neutron flux in the length of over 60 cm.
