This article briefly describes the basic design of ESS-Bilbao neutron target station as well its expected neutronic performance. The baseline engineering design, associated ancillary systems, and plant layout for facility is now complete. A rotating composed twenty beryllium plates has been selected best choice in terms both yield complexity. It will provide beams with a source term 1015 n s−1 resulting from direct 9 Be(p, xn) reaction using 75 mA proton beam at 50 MeV. envisages equipped...
Diagnostic pressure gauges (DPGs) shall provide measurements of the neutral gas in various locations International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) vacuum vessel. This parameter is essential for basic control ITER operation as well input to physics models plasma boundary. The hot cathode (filament) component DPG sensor that exposed most demanding loads. In order reach required electron emission from filament, it has be heated high temperatures by a direct current. As result, thermal...
The ESS-Bilbao Accelerator Center site at Lejoa UPV/EHU campus will be provided with a proton accelerator up to 300-400 MeV. In the first construction phase, beam extraction set end of DTL, which produce 50 MeV an average current 2.25 mA and 1.5 ms pulses frequency 20 Hz. These characteristics allow configure low intensity neutron source based on Be (p, n) reactions, enables experimentation cold neutrons similar that LENS. total power 112 kW, so configuration production target rotating disk...

We will analyze the dynamics of ortho and para-hydrogen in a moderator. The energy transferred by neutrons during moderation tends to turn para into ortho, opposite reaction, decaying at low temperatures, is very slow if not accelerated. Thus, there chance that ortho-hydrogen represents actually significant fraction total hydrogen. Besides moderator needs be recirculating, Fluid Dynamics must modeled, as radiation heat could accumulate some spots, raise hydrogen temperature. This, turn,...
The ESS-Bilbao proton accelerator and neutron producing target will become an international reference in compact sources. This facility require a Beam-Dump during testing tuning. A copper has been designed be prototyped the next few months. Its design is based on existing concepts (mainly PSI SPIRAL2), it optimized to withstand beam conditions while removing heat deposition by means of water channels. work presents complete dump conceptual design, as well overview methodology codes developed...

ESS Bilbao facilities will require a Beam Dump to stop their proton beam during certain operation phases. The basic design concept of consists metal conical cavity with helical cooling channels. It has be able withstand the particular conditions caused by radiation and energy deposition from beam. In process designing Dump, Group Target Neutronic Applications is aiming for an analysis that integrates protonics, thermal hydraulics mechanics. By means combining different software tools,...
Permeation is a complex phenomenon. Today the unique tool ITER QA pedigree qualified one dimensional tool, TMAP7, not suitable for geometries present in Breeding Blanket concepts, where 2D/3D simulation capacities of permeation phenomenon are real need. In pursuit this objective, group new operators describing some different phenomena which make up process have been implemented Cast3M-based code, profiting from finite elements multidimensional calculation. These compared with reference 1D...
