The Cryogenic Moderator System (CMS) is equipped with a catalyst to convert hydrogen from the ortho state to the para state, to keep desirably high parahydrogen fractions in the cold moderators, which is required to deliver a high brightness cold neutron beams to the scientific instruments using neutron scattering. An in-situ measurement system for the ortho and para fractions of liquid hydrogen (OPMS) where a Raman spectroscopy will be used is being developed. The required measurement precision is 0.1% to detect an undesirable shift towards a high orthohydrogen fraction caused by neutron scattering driven para-to-ortho back conversion. The dedicated OPMS sampling line has been designed and is placed in a bypass line from and to the CMS to minimize the hydrogen inventory and to make it physically isolated from the CMS if a sapphire window failure happens. Accident analysis for a hydrogen leak due to the sapphire window failure was carried out using an inhouse-developed simulation code, and the required safety relief size has been determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
