Although the number of operational research reactors (RRs) is steadily decreasing, more than half of them remain heavily underutilized, and in most cases, underfunded. In order to continue to play a key role in the further development of peaceful uses of nuclear technology, the dwindling and rather old fleet of RRs needs to sustain provision of useful products and services to private, national...

Introduction
The rationale on potential advantages for using protons or carbons ions in radiation oncology was formulated in1946. However, the size and cost of accelerators required has postponed the launching of this field to the end of the 20th century. Since the last 15 years, many facilities have been projected, built and are now in operations [1]. After a first set of large facilities,...

The first discussions to build a synchrotron light source in Brazil started in the early SO's. At that time, Brazil had no knowledge in either building or operating a synchrotron machine. Moreover, only a handful of researchers in the country had already used a synchrotron somewhere else in the world. Strategies were taken both to train young physicists, engineers and technicians in the...
