No
CNS, but
UCN:
A group around Werner Heil (wheil@mail.uni-mainz.de) and Stephan Paul (stephan.paul@physik.tu-muenchen.de) uses the TRIGA reactor (possibly
in the pulsed mode) for testing successfully new methods of UCN-production (solid
D2 and CD4)
and UCN storage. An upgraded UCN source will be in operation from 2008 on at the radial
channel D with its factor of 6 higher neutron flux.
