The BNC is pleased to update the user community on the ongoing reconstruction of the BRR. Over the next two months, battery banks will be replaced and installed. These works are expected to be completed by mid-March, paving the way for the BRR to conduct 12–24-hour test cycles in March.

Following a few of these shorter cycles, BRR aims to return to full 96-hour operational runs. BNC is committed to ensuring a smooth transition back to full capacity and will continue to provide the user community with regular updates.

The opportunity for users to apply for beamtime will be announced in April. Calls for scientific proposals will be communicated via the BNC website, social media pages, and mailing lists.
