Thermodynamic and fluid dynamic experiments for the horizontal cold source of the Grenoble high flux reactor
- 1. Institut Laue-Langevin, 38 - Grenoble (France)
Description
The high flux reactor produces neutrons used in studies of the atomic structure of condensed materials or liquids, of tissues and of viruses. Depending on the problem to be solved, experimenters require neutrons at prescribed speeds that can be produced with moderators at various temperatures. In the high flux D2O reactor, the neutrons are at a temperature of 330K, speeds of ca. 220 m/s; in the graphite of the ''hot source'', at ca. 2300 K, ca. 6200 m/s and in the D2 of the ''cold source'' at 25 K, ca. 650 m/s. Progress in experimental techniques has increased the demand for cold neutrons. In order to meet this demand a new cold source implanted horizontally in a glove finger is planned. Operation of this cold source is projected to start in 1986. 4 refs., 9 figs
