Abstract
The goal of the RTNS-II (Rotating Target Neutron Source) project at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory is to provide a dedicated facility for investigation of 14-MeV neutron damage processes in materials to be used in controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors. LLL will operate the RTNS-II facility for ERDA as a national materials damage center. This Technical Development Plan describes the need for 14-MeV neutron sources, the physics and engineering design basis for the beam-target sources to be built for the RTNS-II facility, and the research support equipment included in the facility. Fiscal and manpower schedules for construction and operation of the facility are included. Finally, the accelerator and target research program directed at raising the strength of these sources from the design goal of 4 x 10/sup 13/ n/s to higher levels is described.
