8-Multipurpose Use of Targets and Beam Dumps
Invited Talk
Inside the high-power beamstop at FRIB, nuclear reactions between the fast heavy-ion beam and water will create a large number of by-product radionuclides. Many of them are valuable for applied and basic-science research if they can be efficiently recovered from the beamstop water. We are currently designing and testing the systems that will allow collection and purification of these...

8-Multipurpose Use of Targets and Beam Dumps
Oral
Niowave, in a close collaboration with the experts at LANL, is developing a forced-flow liquid metal based high power neutron target that can generate 1014 n/s source neutrons with a 40 MeV 50 kW electron beam. This neutron target not only drives Niowave’s subcritical uranium assembly for its medical isotope production facility, it also provides a fast-spectrum neutron environment for material...

8-Multipurpose Use of Targets and Beam Dumps
Oral
An accelerator-based neutron source for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is under developing with a combination of a DC accelerator (IBA Dynamitron, 2.8MeV, 15mA) and a compact sealed lithium target. Low energy protons incident on lithium target are one of the most suitable reaction for accelerator-based BNCT. However, metallic lithium has several difficulties in chemical properties (low melting...
