Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility

[2][3] Instead of using lithium as a spallation jet target, like most linacs, it uses an eutectic gallium indium alloy with a melting point of 15.7°C.

[5] The high ion current generates a copious amount of fast neutrons and light radioactive nuclei.

[6] Accelerator facilities such as SARAF are designed to produce enough neutrons to perform the functions that are today possible only at research nuclear reactors, such as IRR1 at Soreq.

[7] Soreq NRC and its project SARAF were host to the 26th bi-annual LINAC conference, LINAC'12, at Tel Aviv in September 2012.

[clarification needed] The Phase II accelerator is to be completed by 2018 and the target hall and stations are planned to be operational by the end of the decade.
