The need of a high intensity fusion-like neutron source for the qualification of materials in an environment similar to the one in a fusion reactor has been identified in the European Fusion Roadmap as a key step for the design and licensing of the future Demonstration Reactor (DEMO). This need has pushed, at the european level, the development of a neutron source based on the Li(d,nx) stripping reaction called DONES (DEMO Oriented Neutron Source). Taking this into account, the facility has been included in the 2018 ESFRI Roadmap. Recently Granada has been identified as the European reference site in case the facility is finally built in Europe.
In this talk it will be presented the project justification, the present status of development and the expected near future, making special emphasis also in the possible use for other scientific and technological research fields.
