CNS:                          one, operating since 1991

moderator:                 H2                               phase:                        super-critical

volume:                      1 L                              temperature:             27 – 30 K

pressure:                   1.3 / 1.9 MPa            heat removal:            forced (circulator)

power:                        1800 W                     refrigerator:               AL, screw,

material: chamber:            AlMg3                vacuum thimble:            AlMg3

performance:             90 % reliability, if not stopped during reactor shut-down
