The Risoe cold neutron source
Description
The Risoe cold source was the first system with a supercritical hydrogen moderator (15 bar 38 K). The moderator chamber is made from an aluminum alloy AlMg3 (5052-0). Cooling is provided by a Philips-Stirling B 20 cryogenerator. The safety of the facility is ensured by the use of triple containment preventing contact between hydrogen and air. The reactor operation is independent of the cold source. During 15 years of operation, cold neutrons have been available in more than 95% of the time
