3 RIA – an overview –RIA-Science –Rare Isotope Production –RIA Facility RIA target area –Production targets –Beam dumps –Target area concepts Conclusion The Rare Isotope Accelerator Project Concept and Target Issues G. Bollen National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory NSCL Michigan State University RIA – an intense source of rare isotopes

4 Rare Isotope Accelerator - RIA Most intense source of rare isotopes  High power primary beams protons to U at >100 kW and E > 400 MeV/nucleon.  Possibility to optimize the production method for a given nuclide. Four Experimental Areas (simultaneous users)

5 Two-step fission targets for  100 kW beam power Choice of converter type has impact on design of target area  Investigation of neutron/fission yields, beam and decay heating, radiation damage for 400 kW 2-step target Conceptual design studies of cooling schemes Are there alternatives to Li +W ? 1)Mercury as target and coolant 2)H 2 O or D 2 O cooled W Original proposal (J. Nolen, ANL): Li-cooled W converter ? Principle of 2-step fission targets: Neutron converter for neutron production and dissipation of beam power Surrounding blanket of fissionable material for rare isotope production

6 TARGET BEAM D. Connor, M. Wendel, A. Carroll/ORNL Thermal and stress analysis  W converter target can be cooled up to 400 kW Al and SST for coolant tube – temperatures and stresses not critical Water-cooled tungsten converter target Primary target : W (80%) + H 2 0 or D 2 O (20%), 2.5 cm diameter Temperatures: Tungsten < 225ºC, Water < 140ºC Water flow of ~ 2 liters/s, Pressure drop ~ 0.7 MPa, Water velocity ~ 18 m/s

7 Summary and Conclusions RIA would become the most intense and versatile facility for rare isotope research R&D focus has shifted towards beam production areas –Some target concepts for up to 100 kW beams for ISOL and fragmentation beam production appear realistic –R&D towards > 100 kW looks promising –Conceptual design of target area has started A lot of R&D work ahead but no showstoppers in sight Follow-up on RIA developments at High-power target testing will be an intrinsic component of RIA

9 MTS capitalizes on the pulsed nature of the LANSCE beam to illuminate two target halves, thereby creating a “flux trap” in between The 1.5-cm-wide by 6-cm-high proton beam spot is directed on to a target half during a 625-µs macropulse Between macropulses, the beam is switched to the other target half 50 macropulses hit each target half every second spallation target materials and fuel samples in flux trap

10 The high-energy tail of the MTS spectrum produces 10x more helium than a FR spectrum Very little effect of helium is observed on swelling in 316 stainless steel at 500 to 750 ºC (Brager and Garner, JNM, 1983)

11 MTS will be located in the 3,000 m 2 LANSCE “Area A” experiment hall Existing assets include: 800-MeV proton linac 30-T crane Secondary cooling loops Back-up generator Shield blocks Utilities MTS will provide the first fast neutron irradiation capability since the shutdown of the FFTF and EBR-II

15 Problem areas:  Accelerator: The only high power (~1 MW) accelerators are LANL (linac) and PSI (cw cyclotron). Short pulse machines - synchrotrons and accumulator rings - may give problems at high charge density - ep instability.  Target: Heat Dissipation Thermal Shock (pulsed beams) Radiation Damage If the beam is spread over a large volume the temperature rise is correspondingly small; it is easier to remove the heat and the thermal shock and radiation damage is less.

17 Vital to test the target in the beam to assess radiation damage, shock - and possibly the cooling. Hence, need a Test Facility Consisting of Accelerator (cost of order £1000 M) Target Station(s); with hot cells, analysis equipment, specialist staff. (cost of order £100 M)

18 Conclusions NEED a Test Facility – long term, in particular for solid targets with pulse beams Very Expensive Unlikely to be funded (my view) Each facility will have to do its own tests.

23 Why talk about a High Power Target Test Facility? The SNS foresees the need for a test facility to develop technology that increases the neutron brightness and lifetime of its short pulse liquid metal spallation target. –Users of neutron sources are expected to demand brighter source performance. –Brightness (driven by beam power) and lifetime are strongly coupled. What other research areas might also be interested in such a facility? –Long pulse or solid spallation targets –Neutrino factory targets –Rare isotope production targets –Accelerator transmutation of waste –Material irradiation –Advanced moderator material radiation effects –Semiconductor neutron radiation effects Are there sufficiently common requirements for multi-purpose test facility?

24 What will limit the power capacity and lifetime of short pulse liquid metal spallation targets? Cavitation Damage Erosion (CDE) has been observed in tests of mercury target hit with prototypically intense beam pulses. Considerable research has been done including both in-beam and off- line testing to improve understanding and explore directions for solving the problem. SS316LN test piece 200 WNR pulses LE3-R5 M. Futakawa et.al., JAERI

25 Current knowledge and strategy CDE rate is strongly sensitive to beam power; perhaps  P 4. Pulse frequency effect on CDE has been demonstrated in MIMTM but remains unknown for in-beam conditions. Alternate materials and surface hardening treatments can provide only modest potential for extending target life. Required improvements in target life and power capacity must come by mitigation of the damage mechanism, either by: –Reducing pressure wave magnitude at generation, e.g. through gas bubble injection. –Isolating the vessel wall from damaging bubble collapse by creating a layer of gas between it and the mercury. New bubble generation and gas wall technologies will need: –Off-line R&D for fundamental development. –Testing under more prototypic flow, beam and target geometry conditions than currently is possible.

26 Discussion topics Where can commonality be found between various research areas interests in terms of: –Required beam parameters? –Test cell size and required utilities? –Shielding? –Remote handling requirements? –PIE infrastructure? What are the possibilities for locating a facility? –Addition or modification to existing facility. –Green field construction. Does phased construction make sense? How to fund such a facility, considering: –Substantial construction cost –Substantial operating cost Cooperation and commitment from multiple agencies and / or multiple governments.

27 Summary There currently exists no test facility with sufficient beam performance and infrastructure necessary for advancement of short pulse liquid metal spallation targets. Such a facility could potentially serve other research areas that utilize high power targets. Although there are challenges, it is hoped discussion and consensus can lead to a dedicated high power test facility that will push target development into the multi-megawatt range.

28 Round table discussions were held after the presentations Some preliminary observations included: –No single project is likely to fund such a facility –The facility must be able to satisfy multiple different users –Areas of common interest should be found with radiation damage identified as one potential area –Post Irradiation Examination (PIE) should be give a high priority –Some capability may exist at current facility such as at LANSCE –An agreement was made to circulate a form to poll the attendees and others to find the desired beam and support facility characteristics Session Conclusion
