Spallation Neutron Source, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, generated its first neutrons.
One of the largest and most anticipated U.S. science construction projects of the past several decades has passed its most significant performance test. The Department of Energy’s Spallation Neutron Source, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, generated its first neutrons on April 28, 2006. GMW has supplied SNS with instrumentation including: Group3 Control system and Bergoz Fast Current Transformers for use in the Front-End Systems; Bergoz Fast Current Transformers and Low Level RF analog front end for use in the Linac; Danfysik Magnet Power Supplies for use in the Accumulator Ring; and Danfysik Power Supplies, Danfysik Current Transducers, and Group3 Digital Teslameters (Gaussmeters) for magnet system test.
