2.5 MeV Neutrons
For a 2.5 MeV neutron generator:
a) 1D2 + 1D2 -->2He3 (0.82 MeV) + 0n1 (2.45 MeV)
b) 1D2 + 1D2 -->1T3 (1.01 MeV)+ 1p1(3.02 MeV)
Reactions a) and b) occur with equal probability.
NSD-35 DD Neutron Generator
- 1x107 DD n/s maximum with 230 VAC mains power
- A 4 kW Step Up transformer can be used in countries with 120 VAC power
- Continuous output or macro-pulsed
- Very fast start to maximum performance. No run-up.
- The Central Controller and HV DC Power Supplies is in a 19" rack housing
- Air cooled to transfer the 1.8 kW maximum thermal emission.
- Chamber operational lifetime between DD gas refill servicing will be at least 25,000 hours but probably 50,000 hours but without the half life decay characteristic of 252Cf nor the short lifetimes of the old beam-solid target technology.
- The total life cycle cost economics of our products compared to other neutron source technologies is more attractive.
- All models include the specification of long lifetime of at least 25,000 hours of operation.
NSD-350 DD Neutron Generator
- ~1x108 n/s with an electrode of at least 350mm
- 400 VAC or 200 VAC 3 phase power input
- Longer line source neutron emission zones are feasible
- Continuous DC or macro-pulsed
Pulsed Neutrons
- Pulsed Neutron emission mode single shot to 2 kHz
- Pulse duration of 1 to 15 micro second
- 5e4 neutrons per pulse with DD
- High stability and repeatability
- All models include the specification of long lifetime of at least 25,000 hours of operation
High End DD Model
An example of a high end neutron generator system:
- ~1x108 n/s pulsed
