CNS: one vertical since
1986, not operating these days
one horizontal in a beam tube for testing cold moderators
moderator: D2+ X% H2 temperature: 20 K
volume: 0.5 L phase: sub-cooled liquid
power: 4000 W, used for either the vertical or the
horizontal CNS
refrigerator Brayton cycle, 2 turbines, piston compressors
heat removal: gravity thermal siphon + direct cooling
--------------------------
Remarks: vertical source was used for polarised VCN and UCN
production.
There
is also a horizontal solid D2 source.
There
are plans for a new CNS + guide hall
