The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) is a NASA-funded beam line and associated user-support building designed to carry out research on the effects of space radiation on biological systems, primarily, as well as on electronics and materials. NSRL delivers protons and heavy ions at space-relevant energies, serving a mostly NASA-supported community of researchers, with a small but growing group of non-NASA users testing electronics and investigating radiation therapy. NASA users who pass review by both NASA and Brookhaven Lab are granted beam time paid for by NASA. All others must pay on a full cost-recovery basis.
