Description
The proposed ISIS-II Neutron and Muon Source underwent a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) during the early feasibility and design stage. The potential environmental impacts were evaluated across construction, operation, and decommissioning to identify and integrate environmental sustainability practises from its inception.
As with most modern accelerators, computing is - and will be - essential for the design and operation of ISIS-II, yet predicting the computing impact for a facility that is proposed to run from 2040 to 2100 comes with its challenges. This work shares those challenges and explores the assumptions made to attempt to predict the required computing resources of a future accelerator.
