The 1984 “Seitz-Eastman Report” of the National Academy of Sciences The 1984 “Seitz-Eastman Report” of the National Academy of Sciences The first call for a pulsed spallation neutron source in the U.S.The first call for a pulsed spallation neutron source in the U.S.
The 1984 “Seitz-Eastman Report” (a.k.a., “Major Facilities for Materials Research and Related Disciplines”) presented priorities for new facilities.
The new facilities in order of priority were:
a 6 GeV synchrotron radiation facility (the Advanced Photon Source at ANL, commissioned in 1996);
an advanced steady state neutron facility (the Advanced Neutron Source at ORNL, terminated in 1995);
a 1 to 2 GeV synchrotron radiation facility (the Advanced Light Source at LBNL, commissioned in 1993); and
a high intensity pulsed neutron facility (the Spallation Neutron Source at ORNL, commissioned in 2006).
