Abstract

This report provides an analysis of the economic impacts arising from the construction and operation of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and Joint Institute of Neutron Science (JINS) facilities on the State of Tennessee. The study was conducted by the Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in cooperation with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Science Alliance at UTK. Estimates provided are based on data provided by ORNL and the Office of Research at UTK. The estimates contained in the report quantify the income, employment, and sales tax revenue which will be generated by the activities of the SNS and JINS by accounting for the (1) direct impacts, those arising directly from the expenditures for the construction and operation of the facilities; (2) indirect impacts, those arising from the visitors to the facilities and from facility expenditures in Tennessee; and (3) multiplier impacts, those arising from the ripple effects created as new income is spent and respent in the state economy.

Final Report for EPSCoR Implementation Award DE-FG02-08ER46528 to University of Tennessee

Technical Report Egami, Takeshi

With the completion of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and upgrading of the High-Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) the state of Tennessee now leads the world in the capability of neutron scattering research. This project aimed at directing the great impact of these facilities to researchers in the EPSCoR states, Tennessee in particular, by creating a research collaboration network around these facilities. The plan consisted of two parts: (1) Direct effort to increase the user base through the travel fellowship for graduate students and faculty from the EPSCoR states to use the neutron facilitiesmore »« less

Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Construction and Operation of the Spallation Neutron Source

Technical Report

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to construct and operate an accelerator-based research facility called the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). This facility would provide the U. S. scientific community with a neutron source having greater intensity, power, and instrumentation than existing neutron sources. It would augment the research capabilities of current reactor-based neutron sources, satisfy current and future demand for research neutrons, lead to new scientific and technological discoveries, and meet international technological and economic challenges. DOE has identified four siting alternatives for the proposed SNS. These are as follows: (1) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Alternative (Preferred Alternative),more »« less
