Next generation neutron source project in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI)
Abstract
JAERI is carrying out a project to construct an intense-pulsed spallation source to promote a wide range of basic science and a CW source for nuclear power technologies such as nuclear transmutation of rare actinides from nuclear wastes. The most important basic science of the project is neutron scattering. The major facility is a 1.5 GeV superconducting H +/H - linac, with a peak current of 30 mA and a time-averaged beam current of 5.33 mA, which can provide 8 MW in total. For neutron-scattering experiments, 5 MW is available. A general view of the project and neutron-scattering facility are reported. Neutron-scattering experiments with a short-pulse spallation source (SPSS) are our final goal, but with a long-pulse spallation source (LPSS) might be optionally possible, if we have financial and/or technical difficulties.
