Nuclear Science User Facilities 26 rather surprising because over that period of time I would have assumed that all that information would have been collected.The answer likely is that the scientists involved limited their research to fairly constrained sets of reactor conditions.As we move forward with advanced reactor designs we need to understand the effects of irradiation over a broader range of conditionsfilling in the gaps in the needed data if you will to really gain a better understanding of how these types of materials can be used in future reactors. Q I know were in the process of changing the name of the user facility.Can you tell us something about that AThis was under consideration before I became director and I think its a good idea because if you look at the user facility and how it has grown since 2007 the current name does not adequately reflect that growth. Of course the original concept of the user facility centered around INL and its AdvancedTest Reactor along with our PIE capabilities and the instrumentation that we were devel- oping. But then its project load started expanding fairly quickly as the interest in the ATR and INL PIE facilities increased so that we couldnt handle it all and we started adding other existing facilities that could assume some of the workload as partners. Now along with ATR we can assign projects to the High Flux Isotope Reactor HFIR at Oak Ridge the MIT reactor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology or the PULSTAR reactor at North Carolina State University.And as we get more projects other reactors
