8. Experimental time for non-proprietary use (25% of Industrial use)
Powder diffractometer (med reso.) is very popular and experimental time is mainly from 1 to 12 hours
(one measurement time is 10-20min at ambient temperature and a robot handles many samples
Automatic 24/7 experiments)
Powder diff.
SANS

9. Guidline for use ○ Category of use ○ Proposal and Review system
＜non-proprietary use＞
・free for industries and academic sectors
・ No discrimination against foreign users and industries
・＜ proprietary use ＞
・cost is about $25,000-$30,000/day
○　Proposal and Review system
＜Regular call-for proposal＞
・Twice a year for regular proposal
・＜ Frequent call-for proposal ＞
・Every machine cycle only for industrial use on a specific instrument
(Powder and Protein X-tal diff.)
・＜ Reviewing ＞
・ peer reviewing in panels of 7 scientific fields + Industrial field with
a different reviewing standard for industrial use.
・ Proprietary use: Just safety and technical reviewing

10. Activity to facilitate industrial use
・ User support organizations (Government’s initiative)
(CROSS, Ibaraki prefecture, 70 staffs & 8 M$/y)
consult, out-reach, experimental support, analysis,
sample preparation
・ 6 Science coordinators consult industries in free of charge
what experiment, which instrument,
how to write proposal etc.
・ Experimental exercise for novice users; Trial use, school
experimental training, course and data analysis
・ Industrial user forum (50 member companies);
seminar, training and education
User symposium
Workshops
Seminar
