SNS is part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is managed by UT-Battelle for the United States Department of Energy (DOE). SNS is a DOE Office of Science user facility, [2] and it is open to scientists and researchers from all over the world. Aerial view of the Spallation Neutron Source building
ORNL has several of the world's top supercomputers, including Frontier, ranked by the TOP500 as the world's most powerful. The lab is a leading neutron and nuclear power research facility that includes the Spallation Neutron Source, the High Flux Isotope Reactor, and the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences.
In the 2003 film The Hulk, a model of the Gamma Sphere, built at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a detector of gamma rays, is used as the powerful source of gamma rays. [52] The Hulk ends up hurling it through the iconic dome of the Advanced Light Source, which was designed by Arthur Brown Jr. around 1940 for the 184-inch cyclotron. [53]
The neutron source usually is a research reactor or a spallation source. In some cases, a smaller facility will provide high energy neutrons (e.g. 2.5 MeV or 14 MeV fusion neutrons ) using existing neutron generator technologies.
Spallation is a proposed neutron source in subcritical nuclear reactors like the upcoming research reactor MYRRHA, which is planned to investigate the feasibility of nuclear transmutation of high level waste into less harmful substances.
The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) is a nuclear research reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States.Operating at 85 MW, HFIR is one of the highest flux reactor-based sources of neutrons for condensed matter physics research in the United States, and it has one of the highest steady-state neutron fluxes of any research reactor in the world.
Spallation Neutron Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory: 2006–Present Linear (335 m) and Circular (248 m) Protons 800 MeV – 1 GeV Produces the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. INSPIRE: J-PARC RCS Tōkai, Ibaraki: 2007–Present Triangular, 348m circumference Protons 3 GeV
His move to Tennessee arose from the presence at ORNL of world-class supercomputing capabilities, [3] and the Spallation Neutron Source, as the combination of neutron scattering with computer simulation has been a sustained interest of his. In 2008, Smith was appointed Honorarprofessor (i.e., honorary professor) at the University of Heidelberg.
