    The infrastructure aims to provide all the resources required for the operation of the scientific and technical facility.
    It includes the buildings, technical areas, and essential services required for the operation of the accelerators, neutron targets, scientific instruments, and user facilities.
    At present, the final location of the facility has not yet been determined.
    Buildings
    The infrastructure is organised around several categories of buildings designed to meet scientific, technical, and operational requirements.
    Radiological Controlled Areas
    Accelerator Building Facility dedicated to WP4 equipment for proton beam production.
    Target–Moderator Areas Areas housing the neutron production systems of WP3.
    Experimental Halls Scientific areas dedicated to WP2 instruments and experiments.
    Hot Workshops Specialised areas for equipment subject to radioactive activation.
    Support Areas
    Utility Buildings Electricity, water, air, and nitrogen systems required by the facility.
    Storage and Warehouses Management of equipment and consumables.
    Cold Workshops Technical areas outside the radiological environment.
    Administrative Areas
    Reception Guidance and support for visitors and users.
    Offices and Meeting Rooms Workspaces and scientific coordination areas.
    Control Room Supervision and operation control of the facility.
    Outdoor Areas
    Fences and Access Secure management of site entrances.
    Traffic and Logistics Roadways and internal transport infrastructure.
    Parking and Green Areas Staff reception areas and environmental integration.
    Technical Services
    The operation relies on a set of networks ensuring power supply, cooling, safety, and fluid management.
    Electricity Power distribution to scientific equipment.
    Drinking Water Supply for buildings and users.
    Cooling Water Cooling of critical equipment.
    Liquid and Gaseous Nitrogen Used for cryogenic systems.
    Compressed Air Industrial technical networks.
    Exhaust Air Treatment and management of releases.
    Waste Management Conventional, chemical, and nuclear waste management.
    All these infrastructures and services form the essential operational foundation required for the reliable, safe, and sustainable operation of the neutron facility.
