The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center operates two pulsed neutron sources: the Lujan Center and the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility. Both are driven by 800-MeV LANSCE proton linear accelerator. The Lujan Center delivers moderated neutrons to seven flight paths serving both nuclear science and materials science applications, while the unmoderated neutron source at WNR serves six flight...

TRIUMF is developing two target assemblies for radioisotope production based on the conversion of primary charged particle beams into neutral particle fluxes, which consequently induce fission in a uranium carbide (UCx) target.
One is a proton-to-neutron converter made out of a 2 cm thick tungsten core clamped by copper brackets to dissipate up to 7.5 kW deposited by a 500 MeV, 100 uA proton...

Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is based on a proton/deuteron RF superconducting linear accelerator. Phase I, has already been completed and allows acceleration of 1 mA CW, 4 MeV proton beams and low duty cycle acceleration of 5 MeV deuterons. Phase II of the project is under way and includes the development of the accelerator to its final specifications: energy of 40MeV...

Similar to other next generation RIB facilities, ISOL@MYRRHA is based on a high intensity proton beam in order to meet users’ requirements of a significant increase of isotope yields. In the first phase of the MYRRHA project, the combination of the beam intensity (0.5 mA) and energy (100 MeV), delivered by the MYRRHA linac, together with a beam spot of a few mm in radius, results in a beam...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is presently under construction at Michigan State University. It is based on heavy ion accelerator which produces the primary ion beams from 16O to 238U with up to 400 kW power. For the rare isotope production the in-flight technique and fragment separation is used with over 300 kW of unreacted primary beam needing to be absorbed in the beam dump. The...
