http://europa.eu.int/idea/bin/dispent.pl?lang=en&entity_id=11122

Peter started working at this reseach facility in the post-Chernobil era, doing exploratory research aiming to convert part of the existing purely nuclear technology so that it would be suiteable for non-nuclear applications. EU funding was obtained and a linear accelerator based pulsed neutron source acquired the ability to become also a transition radiation soft x-ray source, opening new areas of applied research. The technology was validated by a published demonstration of x-ray microlithography down to 200 nm resolution.
