David Diamond, Abdullah Weiss, Osman Celikten, Jeremy Cook, Dagistan Sahin, Hubert King, Anil Gurgen, Joy Shen
A pre-conceptual design has been completed for a NIST Neutron Source (NNS). It would replace the existing facility at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) to enable significantly more thermal and cold neutrons to be used in many more experiments

Thermal-hydraulic Assessment of the Proposed NIST Neutron Source Design

Author(s)
Anil Gurgen, Abdullah Weiss, Joy Shen
To replace the ageing reactor at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, a new reactor design is proposed, namely the NIST Neutron Source or NNS. The NNS will contain a light-water moderated and cooled core that would serve as a neutron source for a state-of

Modeling Approach for the Design of the NIST Neutron Source

Author(s)
Abdullah Weiss, Osman Celikten, Anil Gurgen, Joy Shen, Dagistan Sahin, Yaniv Shaposhnik
The NIST Neutron Source, or NNS, is a proposed new research reactor at the NIST Center for Neutron Research to replace the currently operational, but aging, National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR). The NNS is currently in the pre-conceptual design
