The departmental facilities include, in addition to the UFTR, a uranium metal-fueled sub-critical facility, a high-output fusion neutron generator irradiation laboratory, 1 and 10 curie Plutonium-Beryllium ( Pu-Be ) neutron sources, a radiochemistry laboratory with hot-cell and decontamination capabilities, a neutron activation analysis laboratory, and multi-user nuclear instrumentation laboratory work stations.

In 1975, Carpenter moved to the Argonne National Laboratory, where he developed the first-ever pulsed Spallation Neutron Source for neutron scattering, the ZGS ( Zero Gradient Synchrotron ) Intense Neutron Generator Prototype ( ZING-P ), which then led in 1981 to the construction of the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source ( IPNS ) used in a broad range of neutron research.

Although plans to build an Intense Neutron Generator and a large astronomical telescope, to be named the Queen Elizabeth II in the sixties were canceled due to financial pressures, ( the latter in 1968 ), the seventies saw the construction of the TRIUMF large meson generator at the University of British Columbia, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii and the experimental Tokamak fusion reactor in Varennes, Quebec.
