Thermal neutron scattering is an important branch of applied nuclear technology.The only thermal neutron scattering laboratory in China has been established

at CIAE

where the experimental facilities are available to the scientists from all over the country. During the past years thermal neutron scattering technology in this laboratory has been applied to some fields

thus several research orientations being formed. Interesting results in both basic and applied sciences have been obtained. If continue supports are offered

more creative works be done in the near future.
