The availability of the neutrons due to photonuclear reactions has been discussed by using synchrotron radiation with the beryllium targets. The superconducting wiggler with the magnetic field of ~10 T, which is installed into an 8 GeV class storage ring, can emit intense and high-energy photons to produce neutrons. By using MCNPX, the simulations were performed for the conceptual design of the neutron beamline to estimate the available intensity and to investigate the shield conditions. The results were discussed in comparison with other research reactors.
