1 .5 Schematic vertical and horizontal cuts through the innerpart ofthe target block.<br />

1 .5.2.3 The moderators<br />

We will now turn to the "heart" ofthe facility, the moderators, which were just shown in the<br />

last figure above in their relative positions next to the target . As the upper and lower faces of<br />

the target are equivalent for symmetry reasons with respect to the emission of fast neutrons, it<br />

is obvious to exploit both sides with moderators . The question now is, whether we shall use<br />

D 20 as the slowing down medium like in all modern medium and high flux reactors or possibly<br />

H2O? As we have discussed in section 1 .4, not the highest possible average neutron flux is<br />

the only reasonable demand, but rather the highest possible peak flux for a given (or requested)<br />

average flux . In that respect, H2O is the preferred material due to its bigger slowing<br />
