The Source Development and Engineering (SDE) group at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is responsible for all engineering aspects of neutron source components. This includes research and development, conceptual design, detailed design and analysis, manufacturing, operations support, and post irradiation examination. Within the group, a manufacturing team is dedicated to procuring the...

A third-generation neutron spallation target for the CERN neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility is currently in the detailed design and prototyping phase. This “atypical” neutron source is subjected to short (7 ns) and high-intensity (1*1013 ppp) proton pulses, resulting in extremely high dynamical effects. Construction is foresee in 2019 and installation in 2020.
The design focuses on...

ISIS has its own Target Manufacturing Facility for making the W/Ta target plates. I will share the experience and challenges of making the first new design target plates and other main components of the TS1 Project Target. There have been some lessons learned along the way.

A novel method was used to measure residual stress in tantalum-clad tungsten after manufacture via Hot Isostatic Pressing. A significant tensile tress was measured in the cladding, as predicted by FEA simulations. This will be an important consideration in the design of future spallation targets.
