The Bragg Institute is operating the neutron scattering science facilities at theAustralian research reactor OPAL. The first set of seven neutron scattering instruments wasprovided as part of the OPAL construction project which was completed in 2007. During theperiod 2008 - 2013, the instrument suite was significantly expanded by a further seveninstruments. In addition to this, major investments were made to establish a world-class infrastructure for supporting these instruments, including new sample environments, 3He polarisers/analysers, additional neutron guides and a Be filter option for chemicalspectroscopy.
