The solid deuterium source of ultracold neutrons.

Summary

Heavy water is a good shield from high energy neutrons and gamma radiation. This makes it possible to achieve a low level of heat load at high flux of thermal neutrons (reactor PIK, Gatchina, reactor ILL, Grenoble). Another possibility is to use the solid deuterium sources at neutron spallation sources, where the relation of heat load to neutron flux is better than one for reactors.
