Title: SPALLATION NEUTRON SOURCE OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE AT 1 MW

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1032028

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) has been operating at the MW level for about one year. Experience in beam loss control and machine activation at this power level is presented. Also experience with machine protection systems is reviewed, which is critical at this power level. One of the most challenging operational aspects of high power operation has been attaining high availability, which is also discussed
