Abstract
The Materials Irradiation Facility (MIF) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) High Flux Isotope Reactor1 (HFIR) controls and monitors instrumented irradiation experiments for materials and fuel research. In 2013 ORNL funded a Laboratory Directed Research and Development project to reinvigorate the use of instrumented experiments by redesigning MIF to enhance its capabilities. MIF improvements include an updated and more sophisticated experiment monitoring system, a modular design allowing easier addition of simultaneous experiments, and features that allow rapid incorporation of additional instrumentation.
