As a Systems Engineer for the Research Reactors Division in the Neutron Sciences Directorate at ORNL, Mr. Brackett is responsible for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). This 85MW reactor is the highest flux reactor-based source of neutrons for research in the United States, and it provides one of the highest steady-state neutron fluxes of any research reactor in the world, enabling world-class capabilities for neutron scattering, isotope production, materials irradiation, neutron activation analysis, and nuclear physics.
