Typical example data are for: current 14 MeV source (RTNS-II); mixed spectrum reactors (HFIR (USA), HFR (NL), SM2 (RF); existing spallation sources (PIREX, SINQ, LAMPF and ISIS in the neutron-only irradiation regimes).

Noah, 38 th Meeting of the INTC, 4 th November 2010 Testing at ISOLDE: Towards MEGAPIE Antecedants: The MEGAPIE Project: CERN-INTC-2003-014/INTC-P-171 (& CERN-INTC-2005-017): Measurement of Gas and Volatile Elements Production Cross Section in a Molten Lead-Bismuth Target. Motivation: Evaluate requirements for cover gas system during normal operation and obtain data to assess accidental scenarios. Measurements & results # : Three runs between 2004 & 2005, 1.0 & 1.4 GeV, 250-600°C. Release of noble gases: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe. Release of volatiles: Hg, Br, I. Significant yields of 204-210 At isotopes observed; despite no-release of Po isotopes from LBE at typical operating temperatures, small amounts of Po can be liberated indirectly as decay daughters of released At. FLUKA or MCNPx with the INCL4/ABLA models more satisfactory than MCNPx with standard Bertini/Dresner model 22 MEGAPIE: First MW-class liquid metal spallation target: Aug-Dec 2006 # Y.

page Production and Release of Gas and Volatile Elements from Sodium- based Targets E. Noah, 38 th Meeting of the INTC, 4 th November 2010 Experimental Setup Two phases, two targets: First phase: sodium/fluorine eutectic such as NaF-ZrF4. Second phase: pure sodium target. Standard ISOLDE liquid metal target container: Container used for lead or lead-bismuth eutectic. Tungsten converter. Temperature-controlled condensation helix. Vadis ion source. Measures taken online to assess potential splashing effects of liquid metal due to pulsed proton beam (should be > order of magnitude less severe than in lead targets). Measurements: Faraday cup (stable elements). Online -counting and spectrometry at tape station. Collection on foils and offline spectrometry (e.g. long-lived 7 Be). 27

Noah, 38 th Meeting of the INTC, 4 th November 2010 Beam request 12 Shifts online: 6 shifts with a sodium/fluorine eutectic target (first). 6 shifts with a pure sodium target (second). Only measurements with tape station require the use of the central beamline. Large fraction of measurements can therefore be performed in the GLM/GHM beamlines fully in parallel with another experiment using all remaining protons at the HRS. 2 shifts offline: Ionisation efficiency calibration with gas mixtures and stable tracers. 28

Sodium-based molten salt used for production of 18 Ne in beta beam facility. Test programme at ISOLDE: Two targets: sodium-fluorine eutectic, pure sodium. Measure production and release of wide range of isotopes: He -> Mg. Beam request: 12 shifts online. 2 shifts offline. 29
