A compact accelerator-driven neutron source is being developed in Taiwan to fill the need in neutron scattering experimental facilities. The National Atomic Research Institute (NARI) is spearheading two neutron projects to deliver neutron services to both the industrial and academic sectors. These services encompass personnel training, scientific experiments, and soft error rate tests for semiconductor devices. Currently, optimization efforts are underway for a 30 MeV cyclotron neutron source, and several radiation services have already been executed using quasi-monoenergetic fast neutrons. Moreover, a white spectrum fast neutron source is under trial, and a neutron imaging system is undergoing evaluation. As a part of Phase I of the 70 MeV cyclotron project, two neutron targets—a fast neutron target and a thermal neutron target—will be installed. Planning for Phase II is expected to commence shortly.
