While Britain’s Nuclear Structure Facility might be dead but not forgotten
(Comment, 27 March), the Daresbury Laboratory is alive and well, with a
vibrant forward-looking science programme carried out by some 3000 British
and overseas academic and industrial users. In the coming year (1993/94),
the laboratory will employ over 530 staff and spend some £23 million
in support of the Synchrotron Radiation Source, a theory programme, Computing
and Computational Science, the Research Unit in Surfaces, Transforms and
Interfaces (RUSTI), a Medium Energy Ion Source (MEIS) and a support group
for Britain’s remaining Nuclear Structure programme.
