5. Distillation of Comments Sample containment facilities that go on existing beamlines are more important in the short–term Can one active beamline be flexible enough to do what is wanted well? Don’t build an active beamline that reproduces what can be done elsewhere Need an inclusive group to pursue this if this is the plan.

6. Next Steps Diamond were asked by NIRO to put in a bid for an active materials handling lab where samples could be prepped/contained. (High α, medium β, ɣ) 100 m 2 lab envisaged Diamond will set up a working group for that facility in the next few months Diamond proposes to hold a workshop to discuss a nuclear beamline in the early part of next year, and in the meantime look at the technical feasibility of such a facility
