The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire has succeeded in selling
some time on its Isis neutron source to Australian scientists for around
£500 0000. Australia, which will use less than 5 per cent of the beam
time, is the eighth country to buy into Isis. The cash will ease pressure
on Isis’s £15 million budget, says the laboratory’s associate director,
Robert Voss.
