N2 - The Sustaining and Enhancing Nuclear Science Initiative at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was created to explore potential enhancements to scientific capabilities in the High Flux Isotope Reactor as part of a reactor pressure vessel replacement project. One proposed scientific enhancement included creation of an epithermal and fast neutron radiography station on the HB-3 beam tube with the capability to image highly radioactive specimens such as irradiated nuclear fuel rods, isotope production targets, or spallation neutron target materials. This document summarizes findings and recommendations from a working group of ORNL staff tasked with conceptualizing such a facility and includes a background of similar instruments at other research facilities, technical specifications, and an estimate of procurement cost and schedule.
