1970 Annual report The Science Research Council
has agreed to fund the setting up of a national
facility at Daresbury..to use synchrotron
radiation from NINA.
Construction started before the end of 1970
and..is due to become operational at the
beginning of 1972.

Daresbury Analytical Research and Technology
Service

- set up in response to requests from industrial
SR users - a data collection service for
industry, utilising key SR techniques - gives
access to CLRC Daresbury Lab staff skills and
experience - provides beamtime - two targeted
types of customer - no need to become expert in
SR techniques, - competitive pricing based on
SR beamtime and manpower used, - full analysis
and interpretation provided - if required, -
fast turnround times possible in certain cases,
- confidentiality fully maintained.
commenced 1998
