In the context of production and use of accelerator-driven neutrons, Spain hosts the CNA HiSPANoS neutron source in Sevilla. Currently, HiSPANoS produced continuous and pulsed beams of thermal, epithermal and fast neutrons which are used for many different applications, including nuclear physics experiments and industrial applications. Recently, with the support of IFMIF-DONES, the Spanish government has granted the funds necessary to expand the portfolio with a compact DT generator of 14 MeV neutrons, aiming at yields in the 1e9-1e10 n/s range.
The installation, commissioning and use of the HiSPANoS DT generator offers a unique opportunity for the preparetory work of the commissioning of DONES R-160 and as test-bench for the proposed experiments with continuous beams.
