[en] There is a continuing need within the radiation effects research community for more intense and larger volume pulsed neutron facilities. To fulfill these requirements a study was performed to examine conceptual designs for a neutron assembly that could produce high-intensity, short pulse neutron environments over a large experimental volume. The desired system characteristics were a cylindrical experimental cavity 60 inches long (152.4 cm) with a 24 inch diameter (60.96 cm), a cavity fluence of φ_r = 8x10¹⁴ n/cm², and a neutron pulse width of τ = 10--20 μs. Attention was focused on booster assemblies which have been studied since the 1950s at Harwell, General Atomic, and at Sandia National Laboratories. Five conceptual designs were developed and evaluated. Only a two-stage coupled core design with a NpO₂ primary core assembly was found to meet the design goals. A program is proposed to refine the design and to construct this nuclear assembly. The proposed three-phase effort represents a conservative approach that will yield large increases in the experiment volume even if the final coupled-core design is not realized
