Abstract
The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is based on a 5- 40 MeV, 0.04- 2 mA proton/deuteron RF superconducting linear accelerator, which is under construction at Soreq NRC and is planned to start generating a beam by the end of 2010. SARAF will be a multi-user facility, whose main activities will be neutron physics and applications, radio-pharmaceuticals development and production, and basic nuclear physics research. The operational concept of SARAF will be ‘one target at a time ’ and during irradiation, appropriate shielding will enable preparation and maintenance at other stations. This paper presents the planned facility operation program, the planned operations group, the location and layout of the MCR and the architecture of the
