Abstract
SPring-8 Project is going to construct a ultrahigh-brilliant x-ray synchrotron radiation facility in Harima Science Park City, Hyogo Prefecture. The project is jointly undertaken by Japan Atomic energy Research Institute (JAERI) and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN). The facility consists of an 8 GeV storage ring of 1436m circumstance, an injector linac of 1 GeV, and an 8 GeV synchrotron. The commissioning of the storage ring is expected in spring 1997. The facility will be available to scientists and engineers in universities, national laboratories and industries both at home and abroad.
