Cold Neutron Source (CNS) Facility in HANARO Reactor

Abstract

The principle subjects of this study are to analyze the technical characteristics of cold neutron source(CNS)and take measures to cope with the matters regarding the installation of CNS facility at HANARO. This report,thus, reviews the current status of the CNS facilities that are now in operation worldwide and classifies the system and equipment to select the appropriate type for HANARO and provides advice and guidance for the future basic and detail design. As we have none of CNS facility here and very few experienced persons yet, this report provides some information for domestic users through the investigation of the utilization fields and cost for the project based on JRR-3M. In addition, the work scope of the conceptual design, which will be performed in advance of the basic and detail design, and cooperative program with the countries having the advanced technology of CNS is presented in this report
