      abstract     = {Accelerator driven neutron sources provide a cost-efficient
                      and attractive alternative to classicalneutron sources like
                      fission reactors and spallation sources. With the advent of
                      highcurrent proton accelerator systems, a novel class of
                      such neutron facilities can be establishedtermed
                      High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources (HiCANS).
                      Such sources cancounteract the increasing shutdown of
                      existing fission-based neutron sources and a decline
                      inavailable neutron beam days in Europe.The High Brilliance
                      neutron Source project (HBS) [1, 2] at the Forschungszentrum
                      Jülichdevelops such a HiCANS facility. It utilizes a 70 MeV
                      and 100 mA pulsed proton linearaccelerator providing
                      tailored proton pulses with frequencies of 24 Hz or 96 Hz up
                      to threeoptimized target stations. Due to the low energy
                      nuclear reactions releasing neutrons from atantalum target,
                      the target stations are compact in comparison to spallation
                      neutron sources,requiring only $4\%$ of the shielding
                      material. It allows for an efficient neutron
                      production,moderation and extraction and thus allowing
                      competitive neutron instrument performances.A detailed
                      technical design report describing all relevant components
                      ranging from accelerator,target, moderators up to the
                      instruments was published recently. Due to the
                      flexibilityand modularity in target station design, high
                      performant instruments for basic applicationsas well as
                      specialised applications for activation analysis can be
                      built. It shows a potentialnational neutron source facility
                      with up to 24 instruments for all kinds of applications.We
                      will present the current status of the High-Brilliance
                      Neutron Source (HBS) HiCANSproject. The next steps and
                      milestones for this next generation neutron source will be
                      reportedas well as he performance of instruments for
                      activation analysis will be estimated.References1. P.
