OUR PREVIOUS
MEETING____________________________________
Topic: "Spallation Neutron Source" - Dr.
Lee Magid, Acting Director of the University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National
Laboratory Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences
When completed, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS)
facility, located at ORNL, will be the largest pulsed spallation source facility
in the world and will be used for research on neutron scattering. Dr.
Magid presented PowerPoint slides showing the SNS facility under
construction. The facility will have its own substation. The first
instrumentation will go on-line in 2007 with all instruments to be on-line in
2012. Some
Some of the research areas that will
benefit from neutron sources provided at SNS are magnetism and
superconductivity, complex fluids, biomaterials, polymers, crystalline
materials, disordered materials, semiconductors, and engineered
structures.
The SNS will have a significant
economic impact on the state and region. Construction costs alone account
for more than $1.4 billion. The annual operating budget is estimated at
$150 million. The need for more scientists and engineers will increase in
the region.
Our thanks to Jim Barrott for the
