The Multi MegaWatt target station of EURISOL: High Power deposition on the spallation and the actinides targets (SATIF9)

This presentation will present some of the greatest challenges in the design of this high power spallation sources with a special attention on the high power densities, entailing large structural stresses, and the heat removal, requiring detailed thermo-hydraulics calculations. Alternatively, a windowless target configuration has been proposed, based on a liquid mercury transverse film design. With this design, higher power densities and fission rates may be achieved, also avoiding the technical issues related to the beam window. In the second part of this presentation a brief summary of the actinide targets will be presented. The thermal simulations as well as the fission rates and isotopes production simulation are important calculation to evaluate the capability of the Multi-Megawatt target station.
