The neutron time-of-flight setup nELBE at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf got operational. Using an intense electron beam impinging on a liquid lead target neutrons are produced in the energy range from about 10 keV up to 10 MeV. This neutron source will be used to measure fast-neutron induced reactions with relevance for future nuclear transmutation facilities like Generation IV nuclear reactors or Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS). The profile, the intensity, the energy distribution, and the time structure of the nELBE neutron beam have been investigated and the techniques how they are measured will be explained in this work.
