The SNS will be the world{close_quote}s leading accelerator-based neutron-scattering research facility when it begins operation in 2005. By delivering 1-MW of beam power to a heavy-metal target in short ({lt}1 {mu}s) bursts of 1-GeV protons, the SNS will provide intense neutron beams with flux levels at least a factor of five over present spallation sources. A multi-laboratory (LBNL, LANL, BNL, ANL and ORNL) collaboration, led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has developed a reference design that addresses the challenging technology issues associated with this project. This paper discusses the requirements, issues, and constraints that led to the present design choices. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
