IRI, Technical University of Delft
The 'Interfacultair Reactor Instituut', IRI is the reactor institute of the Dutch universities, nowadays part of the Technical
University of Delft. Most experts in reactor physics in the Netherlands were educated
in Delft. The research groups in Delft have many foreign (PhD-) students.
The institute, which has considerable
expertise in the area of nuclear reactors and associated scientific research,
is the Dutch national centre for training and re- search in this field. Its
principal scientific activities are materials research using neutrons and positrons,
as well as other nuclear techniques, physical aspects of nuclear reactors, research
in radiation physics, radio- chemistry, radiation chemistry, detection of
(sub-)atomic radiation and environmental research.
The institute's facilities comprise a 2 MW swimmingpool nuclear reactor,
a 3 MV pulsed electron-accelerator and various facilities for research
with radionuclides and nuclear radiation.
Teaching activities include courses for MSc and PhD students, as well as a
broad range of courses in health physics and in applications of nuclear techniques.
The institute has approximately 210 employees, of whom 135 are directly involved
in scientific research and education.
