Canada recently lost its major supply of neutron beams with the closure ofthe National Research Universal reactor at Chalk River Laboratories in March2018. This issue is further exacerbated by the closure of other reactorsabroad, which also served as centers for neutron research. Consequently, thereis a demand for new sources, both for Canada and internationally, as the globalsupply shrinks. Compact accelerator driven neutron sources provide an avenue torealize an intense source of pulsed neutron beams, with a capital costsignificantly lower than spallation sources. In an effort to close the neutrongap in Canada, a Prototype Canadian compact accelerator driven neutron source(PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the University of Windsor. ThePC-CANS is envisaged to serve two neutron science instruments, a boron neutroncapture therapy (BNCT) station and a beamline for fluorine-18 radioisotopeproduction for positive emission tomography. To serve these diverseapplications of neutron beams, a linear accelerator solution is selected toprovide 10 MeV protons with a peak current of 10 mA within a 5\% duty cycle.The accelerator is based on an RFQ and a DTL with a post-DTL pulsed kickersystem to simultaneously deliver macro-pulses to each end-station. The neutronproduction targets for both neutron science and BNCT will be made of berylliumand engineered to handle the high beam power density. Conceptual studies of theaccelerator and benchmarking studies of neutron production and moderation withFLUKA and MCNP, in support of the target-moderator-reflector design arereported
