Title
Spallation Neutron Source
Description
The SNS is an accelerator-based neutron source being built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This one-of-a-kind facility will be completed in 2006 and will provide the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. The SNS is being built by a partnership of six DOE laboratories.
Although most people don't know it, neutron-scattering research has a lot to do with our everyday lives. For example, things like jets; credit cards; pocket calculators; compact discs, computer disks, and magnetic recording tapes; shatter-proof windshields; adjustable seats; and satellite weather information for forecasts have all been improved by neutron-scattering research.
Neutron research also helps researchers improve materials used in high-temperature superconductors, powerful lightweight magnets, aluminum bridge decks, and stronger, lighter plastic products.
