Talk:Institut Laue–Langevin

I'm quite sure, that the ILL was founded by France and Germany, whereas the UK joined only in 1973. I'll look into this Barlotto

Yes, looking into this it seems to be correct. The UK was involved in initial discussions prior to 1967 and pulled out for lack of funds/a wish to build its own reactor. It tried to negotiate minority access in 1971 but access was conditional on it becoming a full partner, which became the case in 1973. I will adjust the article accordingly. wurzeller 23/8/05 18.42 GMT
