The IFMIF-DONES Facility will be a first-class scientific infrastructure situated in Granada, Spain. It will comprise an accelerator-driven neutron source capable of delivering ~1e17 n/s with a broad peak at 14 MeV. The neutron source will be generated by impinging a continuous wave 125 mA, 40 MeV deuteron beam into a liquid Li jet target, circulating at 15 m/s and evacuating the 5 MW power of...
Accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADS) represent an advantageous option for the transmutation, volume reduction, and safe disposal of nuclear waste. Neutron spallation sources for Accelerator Driven Systems, commonly known as ADS Targets, must at the same time feature high performances from a neutronics point of view and function reliably and safely, especially in the current scenario...
The Second Target Station (STS) project is an expansion to the existing Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) in Oak Ridge, TN. The project is currently in the preliminary design phase. STS seeks to provide world leading peak cold neutron brightness to a suite of new instruments, eight of which are included in the project scope. SNS is currently in the final stages of the Proton Power Upgrade...
The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project at Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is progressing well towards completion in 2024, when it is to deliver a 2MW 1.3 GeV proton beam at 60 Hz repetition rate to the SNS first target station (FTS). It thus imposes a further challenge to the engineering design of the mercury target to mitigate increased cavitation and high-cycle fatigue damage from ~45% more...
