  • Creation of the final configuration of the multifunctional reflectometer GRAINS (polarizing system, mechanical part and sample unit).

  • Modernization of the available IBR-2 spectrometers (HRFD, YuMO, FSD, REFLEX, REMUR, NERA, SKAT, EPSILON, DIN-2PI) aimed at improving their instrumental parameters (neutron counting rate, background conditions, and extension of experimental opportunities).

  • Completion of the reconstruction of the high-intensity DN-2 diffractometer into a real-time diffractometer (RTD).
