Irradiation Facility Landscape & Access
In a nutshell
Selecting the right irradiation facility can be challenging. Facilities may provide the same general type of radiation while differing significantly in energy spectrum, flux, dose rate, sample environment, dosimetry, availability, pricing and access conditions. At the same time, every irradiation campaign has its own technical and organisational requirements. DINI helps industrial and academic users navigate this complex landscape. We identify relevant facilities, assess their compatibility with the client’s requirements and provide a structured comparison of the available options. For clients who are new to Radiation Hardness Testing, DINI can also provide initial orientation and refer them to experienced test houses, specialist consultants or other appropriate service providers.
Main Target Group
Industrial companies, academic research teams, public research programmes, publicly funded infrastructure projects, and clients seeking irradiation services or entering the field of Radiation Hardness Testing.
Industrial companies, academic research teams, public research programmes, publicly funded infrastructure projects, and clients seeking irradiation services or entering the field of Radiation Hardness Testing.
Scope of Services
Clarification of the client’s irradiation requirements and evaluation criteria
Identification and cataloguing of suitable facilities in Europe and internationally
Inclusion of commercial providers, national laboratories, research infrastructures and academic operators
Assessment of technical compatibility, depending on the project, including:
Radiation or particle type
Energy and energy spectrum
Flux, fluence and dose-rate ranges
Beam characteristics and irradiation modes
Field size, sample dimensions, volume and geometry
Sample positioning and remote control
Temperature, vacuum and gas-atmosphere conditions
Dosimetry, instrumentation, standards and data quality
Remote handling, activation and waste-management procedures
Comparison of indicative pricing structures and ancillary costs
Assessment of proposal lead times, queue times and available campaign periods
Review of shutdown windows and expected reporting times
Analysis of relevant safety, regulatory, packaging and transport requirements
Consideration of export-control and other cross-border constraints
Review of onboarding and contracting requirements
Identification of relevant scientific, technical and commercial contacts
Preparation of comparative facility profiles and recommended shortlists
Guidance during the initial approach to selected facilities
Referral of clients to appropriate test houses or specialist partners where additional testing expertise is required

Benefits for Clients
A structured facility assessment saves clients from having to gather and compare fragmented information from numerous providers. It reduces the risk of selecting a facility that is technically unsuitable or whose scheduling, regulatory or commercial conditions are incompatible with the project.
Potential constraints can be identified before significant time and resources are committed. Clients receive a transparent basis for comparing facilities and can approach selected providers with clearer requirements and more realistic expectations.
For organisations that are new to irradiation testing, we also provide an independent entry point into the relevant facility and service-provider landscape.
The specified deliverable could be a comparative report of approximately 20–30 pages, including an executive summary, methodology and evidence traceability, facility benchmarking, risks, gaps, dependencies and recommended next steps.

Application Example
In a neutron-facility landscape assignment, DINI’s scope includes the identification of applicable facilities in the United Kingdom and internationally, covering D-T and D-D generators, spallation sources, research reactors and accelerator-driven neutron sources. The assessment considers technical compatibility with fusion-related conditions, indicative costs, availability, regulatory constraints, access procedures and relevant points of contact.
