Measurement of decay heat in ISIS new-style TS-1 target

Measurements have been made of the decay heat generated within the new-style tantalum-clad ten-plate tungsten target for the First Target Station (TS-1) of the ISIS Spallation Neutron Source. The new-style target incorporates less tantalum than the old-style target, and the decay heat is correspondingly less. Measured values of decay heat agree well with values obtained from Monte Carlo calculations.

Abstract

Measurements have been made of the decay heat generated within the new-style tantalum-clad ten-plate tungsten target for the First Target Station (TS-1) of the ISIS Spallation Neutron Source. The new-style target incorporates less tantalum than the old-style target, and the decay heat is correspondingly less. Measured values of decay heat agree well with values obtained from Monte Carlo calculations.
