Neutron star concluded that the radiation comes from a neutron star at the stage of accretion. In 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish discovered regular radio pulses from PSR B1919+21. This pulsar was later interpreted as an isolated, rotating neutron star. The energy source of the pulsar is the rotational energy of the neutron star. The majority of known neutron stars (about 2000, as of 2010) have been discovered as pulsars, emitting regular radio pulses. In 1971, Riccardo Giacconi, Herbert Gursky, Ed Kellogg, R. Levinson, E. Schreier, and H. Tananbaum discovered 4.8 second pulsations in an X-ray source in the constellation
Canadian Neutron Beam Centre suite of 6 beamlines at the CNBC. The neutron beam laboratory known as Canadian Neutron Beam Centre was transferred from AECL to the National Research Council in 1997. The NRU reactor, closed in March 2018, was a multi-purpose research reactor that supported science and industry in three areas simultaneously: 1. It was Canada's only major neutron source, supplying neutrons for the CNBC. 2. It was Canada's only major materials testing reactor, supporting nuclear energy research and development. 3. It was one of the two largest global producers of medical radioisotopes. Canadian Neutron Beam Centre The NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre
