Jozef Stefan Institute TRIGA Research Reactor Activities in the Period from September 2020-August 2021

After the calendar year, operating performance indicators for Jozef Stefan Institute TRIGA Mark II research reactor are analysed. After several years of increasing yearly operating hours, a significant decrease is observable last year due to the pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, the number of irradiated samples was larger than the year 2019, indicating that the reactor was operated more efficiently. Furthermore, reactor personnel tried hard to adjust the situation. Since September 2020 we can offer all exercises designed for education and training purposes in remote option. In that way, our reactor became much more accessible, especially for students who cannot afford to travel to Slovenia.
