    At the heart of the ISIS Neutron and muon source are two target stations. Each target station uses a 25 metre long trolley system to transfer the Target Reflector and Moderator assembly from its operational position in the centre of the target station monolith, to a hot cell for maintenance. This approach reduces the duration of maintenance shutdowns and avoids the need to dismantle shielding...

    The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is jointly developed by Europe and Japan. The RFQ and its cooling system were procured by INFN-LNL, Italy, and delivered to Japan as an in-kind contribution. The cooling system is a complex subsystem consisting of six pumps with multiple temperature-control loops and is controlled by a hybrid Schneider-Siemens PLC architecture. Since commissioning...

The entire RF system was destroyed, and many devices were severely affected by smoke and firefighting water....
