The 2MW, 1Gev Spallation Neutron Source, under construction at ORNL, is an excellent example of a facility that offers unique opportunities for experiments relevant to particle physics, neutrino astrophysics, nuclear physics, and cosmology. Numerical feasibility studies have been carried out for experimental measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, ν-nucleus reactions, for example: d(ν_e,e^-)pp, ^16O(ν_e,e^-) ^16F, ^12C(ν_e,e^-) ^12N_gs, ^12C(ν,ν^`) ^12C, ^56Fe(ν_e,e^-) ^56Co, and other reactions using the same techniques. In addition, precision measurements of both charge-current and neutral-current cross sections for electron-neutrino elastic scattering can be done at such facilities when the pulse duration allows the separation of ν_μ from νe and \overlineν_μ. The above and other feasible reactions would be very useful in analyzing the data from the SNO and other solar neutrino experiments, in tuning nuclear models used in supernovae computations, and in shedding light on weak interactions in nuclei. A broad selection of neutrino physics topics will be discussed. The physics that will be discussed applies to any intense, pulsed, stopped pion source.
