The Phase II project began construction in 2024 and is planned for completion by 2029. Its proton accelerator’s target power will increase to 500 kilowatts, enhancing the “brightness” of its neutron “flashlight” to capture fainter structural signals in materials. This upgrade will enable nanoscale precision in the study of material structure, further enhancing China’s research capabilities in materials science.
The newly completed neutron technology development station serves as a dedicated test-bed for developing neutron detection technologies, featuring an ultra-clean environment with minimal background noise to capture faint neutron signals and high efficiency that allows scientists to verify new technologies more quickly.
