The Advanced Neutron Source (ANS) is to be a new user experimental facility for all fields of neutron research. The most important scientific justification for the ANS Project is to provide intense beams of neutrons for scattering and other experiments: neutron scattering is a primary tool of basic and applied materials science. Facilities will also be provided for engineering materials irradiation tests, isotope production (including transplutonium elements), and materials analysis. More than 1000 users per year are expected to carry out experiments at the ANS facility. Details of this facility and its uses are discussed in this paper. 4 refs., 8 figs., 5 tabs.
