The advanced neutron source (ANS) is a new experimental facility being planned at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to meet the national need for an intense steady-state neutron source. A major purpose of the ANS is to provide a high flux of cold ({approx equal} 0.3-nm) neutrons for experiments. High fluxes of such cold neutrons can be obtained from a liquid deuterium ({approx equal} 20 K) cold source in the reflector tank of a high-flux reactor, and this is the type of system planned for the ANS. In this paper, the methodology and results of some of the design calculations that have been performed to aid in the design of the ANS could source are presented and discussed.
