IDEA #9RI1GL Tritium-Containing Targets For Neutron Generators

NUCLEAR(cid:3)ENERGY(cid:3)AND(cid:3)SAFETY TRITIUMMCONTAINING TARGETS FOR NEUTRON GENERATORS Description These targets are intended for generating neutron fluxes with energies of up to 14 MeV for the d (T, n) reaction and 25 MeV for the d (D, n) reaction. These targets provide stable neutron fluxes of the required intensity. The desig$ ned lifetimes compare favorably with the best in the world. Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages Neutron flux (n/s) Target diameter (mm) Substrates 1T3 and 1D2 sorbents Mass surface density of sorbents (mg/cm2) 1T3 and 1D2 atoms per sorbent atom Number of standardized sizes 108 to 1013 11.6 to 432 Cu, Mo Ti, Zr, SC 0,5 to 3 1,5 10 Modification of the target at the request of the client is possible. Areas of Application They Are Intended for use in booster of the particles. Stage of Development First Stage: a technical process has been established for the serial production of Tritium$containing targets for neutron generators.
