Title: LANSCE Accelerator Update and Future Plans

Abstract

Several multi-year accelerator system upgrades have recently been completed at LANSCE that will ensure the long-term future of beam operations to its users and to prepare for a planned next-generation signature facility (MaRIE) based on multi-probe capabilities. Present LANSCE accelerator operations will be discussed. As a result, a summary of the recent upgrades completed and future plans will also be presented.

Design of a subcritical multiplying low-enriched uranium externally driven neutron assembly at the Los Alamos neutron science center

Conference Gavron, Victor

The Sandia Pulsed Reactor (SPR) has had a long history of supplying short intense neutron bursts to test the survivability of critical weapons components. The most recent version, SPR III, was resurrected in 2005 in support of critical survivability testing for W-76 Life Extension Program and other testing for the Qualification Alternatives to SPR program. SPR has now been decommissioned. The SPR had a cylindrical shape, with an internal cylindrical cavity where samples were placed for testing. The approximate dimensions of the cavity were 16.5 cm radius, and 38.1 cm high. The uniformity of the fluence over the entire volumemore »« less

The Future of LANSCE [Slides]

Technical Report Sinnis, Constantine

LANSCE is a NNSA Center for Materials and Nuclear Research. An aging stockpile presents unique challenges in materials and nuclear science. The grand challenge of a predictive materials capability includes design to manufacture and born certified. This requires capability to study manufacture to structure relationships and capability to study structure to performance relationships. LANSCE has the capabilities needed for this mission. We leverage our capability to provide broader benefit to the Nation including production of medical isotopes, industrial irradiation facility for electronics certification, and fundamental materials and physics research. The LANSCE linear accelerator is nearly 50 years old. The severitymore »« less

Experimental Physical Sciences Vistas: MaRIE (draft)

Journal Article Shlachter, Jack

To achieve breakthrough scientific discoveries in the 21st century, a convergence and integration of world-leading experimental facilities and capabilities with theory, modeling, and simulation is necessary. In this issue of Experimental Physical Sciences Vistas, I am excited to present our plans for Los Alamos National Laboratory's future flagship experimental facility, MaRIE (Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes). MaRIE is a facility that will provide transformational understanding of matter in extreme conditions required to reduce or resolve key weapons performance uncertainties, develop the materials needed for advanced energy systems, and transform our ability to create materials by design. Our unique role in materialsmore »« less

Matter-radiation interactions in extremes

Conference Garnett, Robert W ; Gulley, Mark S

LANSCE has been the centerpiece of large-scale science at Los Alamos National Laboratory for many decades. Recently, funding has been obtained to ensure continued reliable operation of the LANSCE linac and to allow planning to enable the first in a new generation of scientific facilities for the materials community. The emphasis of this new facility is 'Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes' (MaRIE) which will be used to discover and design the advanced materials needed to meet 21st century national security and energy security challenges. MaRIE will provide the tools scientists need to develop next-generation materials that will perform predictably and on-demandmore »« less

Advancement of LANSCE accelerator facility as a 1-MW Fusion Prototypic Neutron Source

Journal Article Batygin, Yuri Konstantinovich ; Pitcher, Eric John - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Fusion Prototypic Neutron Source (FPNS) is considered to be a testbed for scientific understanding of material degradation in future nuclear fusion reactors (Zinkle and Moeslang, 2013; Summary Report on the FPNS Workshop, 2018; Pitcher et al., 2019). The primary mission of FPNS is to provide a damage rate in iron samples of 8-11 dpa/calendar year with He/dpa ratio of 10 appm in irradiation volume of 50 cm³ or larger with irradiation temperature 300–1000 °C and flux gradient less than 20%/cm in the plane of the sample. The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is an attractive candidate for themore »« less
