  • Beamtime applications further postponed

    Thu, 26 Sep, 2024

       

    BNC's April 2024 beamtime proposal submission has been postponed to autumn. Unfortunately we have to postpone applications further. The Budapest Research Reactor recently received an extension of the operation licence until December, 2033 - with certain constraints, some of which are still to be met. We hope to return to the regular yearly (mid-April and mid-October) proposal deadline schedule in autumn, 2025. More details here.
