Abstract
Neutron sources delivering high-intensity neutron fluxes from the spallation reaction of high-energy protons on heavy nuclei have achieved a remarkable degree of maturity in their development with key test results such as MEGAPIE. Amongst their many possible uses, such neutron sources are a key component of the accelerator-driven system or ADS.
