Portable Neutron Generators
Read
this first: US NRC regulations require that buyers
have a Type A Broadscope specific license authorizing possession of tritium in
the applicable quantities before purchase of tritium neutron generators or you
must apply for an engineering safety sealed source and device (SS&D) review and
have a specific license authorizing the possession of these devices. Visit
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) website for details.
Del Mar Ventures offer portable neutron generators that provide pulsed neutron
radiation in a wide range of flux, frequencies and pulse length. Neutron generators are
small accelerators which produce neutrons using the deuterium-tritium or
deuterium-deuterium reactions. The neutron output from these generators may be
pulsed or continuous.
General Description of Portable Neutron Generators
Neutron Generators can be used in many research and
industrial fields such as:
Neutron Activation Analysis
(NAA)
- Trace element "fingerprinting" by neutron activation analysis
- Control of gold slugs and gold containing materials
- Detection of components of metals and alloys
- Detection and control of nuclear material content
- Detection of explosives, fissile materials and drugs
- Detection of poison and other toxic substances without container disclosure
- Ecological monitoring of environment, control of agriculture production
Nuclear Geophysics
- Gas and oil well-logging
- Ore (uranium) well-logging
Neutron
Radiography
- Thermal neutrons radiography
- Fast neutrons radiography
Medicine
- Boron capture neutron therapy
- Neutron beam therapy
