摘要

A third generation mesitylene moderated cold neutron source called PSU-CNS has been designed, installed and tested at the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor (PSBR) at the Radiation Science and Engineering Center at Penn State. The PSU-CNS is positioned within one of the newly installed beam ports at the PSBR. The cold neutron beams will be utilized for a small angle neutron scattering, conventional and TOF neutron depth profiling, and a prompt gamma activation analysis facility. Some of the design, installation, and testing features of the PSU-CNS are described and performance and safety aspects of the system under full reactor power are discussed.
