The laboratory is located next to the research reactor FRM1 of the Technical University of Munich. The FRM1 stopped operating in August 2000. A new research reactor, the
FRM2, was built and is now in the commissioning phase. Due to the shutdown of the FRM1 the neutron activation analysis was given up and more emphasis is now placed on the other scientific methods as e.g. the Mössbauer spectoscopy. The group can rely on the longtime experience in Mössbauer spectroscopy existing at the Physics Department. A wide range of equipment for routine as well as special investigations is available.
