The instruments are as follows: the High Resolution Powder Diffractometer (HRPD), the Four Circle Diffractometer (FCD), the Residual Stress Instrument (RSI), the Neutron Radiography Facility (NRF), and the Ex-core Neutron irradiation Facility (ENF). More instruments will be available in the coming years. These instruments are used to investigate the atomic and magnetic structure of matter and the inner structure of various machines and plants. <h4>Research Facilities</h4> Cold Neutron Research Facility The Cold Neutron Research Facility houses several cold neutron instruments that are used to study nanometer-sized structures of matter. The instruments are the 40m Small Angle Neutron Scattering instrument (40M-SANS), the 18m Small Angle Neutron Scattering Instrument (18M-SANS), the Vertical-type Reflectometer (REF-V), and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Ultra-Small Angle Neutron Scattering instrument (KIST-USANS). More instruments will be available in the coming years. <h4>Research Facilities</h4> Proton Accelerator This accelerator strips electrons from hydrogen atoms and accelerates the remaining proton to 43% of light speed. The fast proton hits the target material and changes its structure and characteristics. The resulting material is used in nano-technology, information and communication technology, biological engineering, the aerospace industry, medical sciences and therapy, and the energy industry. <h4>Research Facilities</h4> Cyclotron The primary purpose of the cyclotron is to produce radioisotopes. Thus the device is mostly utilized in radioisotope research and the development of radiation generators. As an accelerator of protons, it is also used in proton utilization research. <h4>Research Facilities</h4> Irradiation Facility The gamma irradiation facility, the electron accelerator, and the ion injector are used in many disciplines, including material science, environment, agriculture, and biological engineering. <!-- //콘텐츠영역-->
