The ISIS Neutron and Muon source is a world leading centre for civil research in the fields of engineering, physics and material science. The source has been operational since 1984 and was expected to have an operational life of 20 years, however its continuing success and importance to the international neutron scattering community has secured further investment in the operation of the facility.
