6N01 - Neutron Targets
ISIS is a government-funded, working pulsed neutron spallation source which provides neutron (and muon) beams for research work. The neutrons are produced by bombarding a tantalum-clad tungsten target with protons. This waste stream is the waste neutron spallation targets from both of the ISIS target stations.

6N05 - Copper
Large electro-magnet windings, bus bars and cables used at RAL in the ISIS neutron spallation source (currently running) and its predecessor, Nimrod (closed in 1978). Note: electrical insulation but no asbestos.

6N06 - Shutters
ISIS neutron spallation source, these components shield users from the neutron beam as samples are changed or plug a gap in the shielding around the neutron source that can be removed to make a new beam-line.
