TRIUMF: Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics
The TRIUMF thermal neutron facility as planned for operation by 1978 Arrott, A. S.; Templeton, T. L.; Thorson, I. M.; Blaby, Roy E.; Burgerjon, J. J.; Hodges, T. A.; Langstaff, R. R.
Abstract
The concepts of the thermal neutron facility have been considerably modified since they were first put forth in 1971. The move has been toward simplification. This report describes the basic vacuum tank structure, its surrounding steel shielding and the concrete structure. The vacuum tank contains a target, moderator and reflector and has ports for the extraction of thermal neutron beams. It also has capabilities for producing mesons and for irradiation of targets in the primary proton beam. The system has been designed with flexibility for modification to meet possible future demands for irradiation facilities, radiography, or pulsed operation. The targets can be easily changed, and it is planned to do this to meet the heat transfer problems as they arise on going to higher beam currents. Feasibility studies for Pb-Bi and Pb targets have been carried out. The Pb target was chosen because of safety considerations and simpler design.
