dc.description.abstractAustralia is currently in the very privileged position of having the world's newest, fully operating research reactor, OPAL. As a consequence, the suite of neutron-beam instruments is also amongst the youngest and most advanced in the world, with full advantage taken in their construction of lessons learned at reactors elsewhere to develop state-of-the-art instruments that are best suited to the local and regional user communities. There are two thermal-neutron beam ports, two cold-neutron beam ports, and two (future) hot-neutron beam ports around the OPAL reactor core (see Fig. 3 in [1] and [2]). One each of the thermal-neutron and cold-neutron ports feed into a set of three guide bundles that serve the present (first) guide hall. In the initial construction phase, completed in 2007, only the outer two (TG1 and TG3) of the thermal guides, and the outer two (CG1 and CG3) of the cold guides were installed. The other thermal-neutron (TG4) and cold-neutron (CG4) guides are relatively short, to serve single instruments within the reactor beam hall with the highest flux but without eliminating line-of-sight [2]. Table 1 lists the current suite of instruments at the OPAL reactor, with brief technical details and the principal features. Figure 1 shows the layout of the current suite, with the anticipated location of the next instrument, BioRef (vide infra), indicated. We now briefly outline the evolution of the suite. © 2021 Informa UK Limiteden_AU
