Purpose
The Neutron Sciences Directorate (NScD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) operates the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the United States' highest flux reactor based neutron source, and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the world's most intense pulsed accelerator based neutron source. Together these facilities operate 30 instruments for neutron scattering research, each year carrying out in excess of 1,000 experiments in the physical, chemical, materials, biological and medical sciences for more than 3,000 visiting scientists. HFIR also provides unique facilities for isotope production and neutron irradiation. To learn more about Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: http://neutrons.ornl.gov<http://neutrons.ornl.gov/>

The Facilities Mechanical Engineer functions within the Site Services team to direct operations and maintenance of mechanical systems across the Chestnut Ridge Campus. These mechanical systems include the building HVAC, lab exhaust direct digital controls systems, ultra-pure water systems and various building cranes. One of the science buildings which Site Services supports is the Center for Nanophase Materials Science Building 8610.  It houses clean rooms with 100, 1000 and
100,000 classifications and 4-stories of laboratories.
