Abstract
The development of neutron radiography (HR) in Malaysia began with the availability of the country’s first research reactor. The Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) was commissioned in June 1982 and plans to construct the neutron radiography facility commenced soon after that. In late 1983, a HR test facility (NuR 1) was constructed out of small modular concrete blocks. Tests carried out in this facility enabled the design of the permanent facility (NuR 2) to be finalized. The construction of NuR 2 took place in November 1984 and it was completed in February 1985. NuR 2 is now actively used in developmental work in NR to ensure that an efficient local NR service can be given in the near future. A number of shortcomings in the design of NuR 2 have been identified, and efforts to rectify these are under way.
