The transit of neutrons through materials generates intense heat, yet moderators and reflectors must remain very cold—sometimes on the verge of absolute zero, and at best within 20 degrees of it. The moderators and reflectors must also be able to withstand a huge amount of radiation, without suffering damage. These are big engineering challenges, but ones that researchers at the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) in Germany are well-experienced in handling. In this work package, the FZJ researchers will:
