Linac-driven Spallation-neutron Source*
Strong interest has arisen in accelerator-driven spallationneutron sources that surpass existing facilities (such as ISIS at Rutherford or LANSCE at Los Alamos) by more than an order of magnitude in beam power delivered to the spallation target. The approach chosen by Los Alamos (as well as the European Spallation Source) provides the full beam energy by acceleration in a linac as opposed to pr...
متن کاملNeutron Spallation Studies for an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor
Nuclear power production can benefit from the development of more comprehensive alternatives for dealing with long-term radioactive waste. One such alternative is an accelerator-driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) which has been proposed for both energy production and for burning radioactive waste. Here we investigate the effects of the size of the ADSR spallation target on the total neutron yiel...
متن کاملAccelerator-Driven Neutron Source for Cargo Screening
Advanced neutron interrogation systems for screening sea-land cargo containers for shielded special nuclear materials (SNM) require a high-yield neutron source to achieve the desired detection probability, false alarm rate, and throughput. The design of an accelerator-driven neutron source is described that utilizes the D(d,n)He reaction to produce a forward directed beam of up to 8.5 MeV neutr...
متن کاملThe Spallation Neutron Source Project
The SNS is a "joint-venture" project of five DOE National Laboratories, aimed at building the world's most powerful accelerator-based pulse spallation source. At its planned 2 MW operation, it will produce neutron fluxes at least a factor of ten greater than Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s ISIS, currently the world’s leading spallation source. The current design of the SNS, shown in Figure 1, ...
متن کاملThe Physics Problem of the Spallation Neutron Production Source Related to Accelerator-driven Systems
In present work, the SHIELD code system have been used to investigate the physics properties of spallation neutron target, such as the neutron spectra, the yield, the radioactivity in the target and the target size etc. The fragment mass distribution of the residual nuclei from proton-induced spallation reaction on thick lead target with energy 1.6 GeV have been analysed also. Radiation damage,...
