Enriched vs non-enriched vs non-fissile targets for pulsed spallation neutron sources

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (UnitedStates)

Description

Numerous options exist among alternatives for target material and design of the neutron producing target in pulsed spallation neutron sources. This report surveys the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of some of the alternatives, including discussions of neutron yields, delayed neutron backgrounds, source pulse widths, source-to-moderator coupling, materials performance, fabrication problems, safeguards and security and hazards questions.
