Abstract

We address recent progress in the continued neutronic design of the Spallation Neutron Source Target Station as regards moderator performance. The Spallation Neutron Source Target Station will receive 2MWof 1 GeV protons at 60 Hz. This level of proton power offers unprecedented neutronic performance for pulsed neutron production for time-of-flight neutron scattering, as well as unprecedented challenges in providing such a performance.We report on the results of recent design optimization studies and the importance of carefully matching moderator performance characteristics to the needs of the neutron scattering instruments.
