(Reactor based neutron scattering)
The lead in most aspects of neutron scattering passed from the USA to Western Europe about 15 years ago. If the Advanced Neutron Source (ANS) is to redress this situation, it will require the world's best design and construction in several areas in which there is little or no experience in this country: reactor-based sources of hot, cold and very cold neutrons, thermal and cold neutron guides, and many new types of neutron instrumentation, including backscattering and neutron spin echo. The travelers visited three sites recognized as world leading laboratories for reactor-based neutron research. At each site, there was considerable interest in the ANS Project, and the laboratory directors and senior engineers and scientists placed themselves at our disposal for the entire duration of our stay. We were given access to all aspects of reactor and instrument hardware which we wished to see, and obtained a great deal of information which will be invaluable in helping the ANS Project avoid unnecessary tasks, and in identifying some potential problems early enough to allow us to address them in our R D plans. A seminar on the ANS was presented at each laboratory. 6 refs.
