Design of instrumentation for a prototype accelerator driven neutron source

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada.
The design study proposed in this project will enable research and innovation in materials for clean energy technology, for understanding and combating disease, and for information technology. The outcomes from this work will inform the design of a prototype neutron source to make neutron beams much more accessible for research and cancer therapy capabilities unavailable in Canada.
