The generator utilizes a gaseous deuterium target to maximize neutron yield and system lifetime, which is measured in years rather than hours.
For customers that need even higher neutron yield, the system can be reconfigured to operate with tritium if the appropriate licenses and shielding are in place. With tritium fuel, this generator will yield 1×1013 to 5×1013 DT n/s.
Alectryon is useful for a number of different applications including neutron radiography, cargo screening, explosives detection, special nuclear material detection, radiation survivability testing and medical isotope production. More information is available on our Industries page.
This generator has demonstrated stable operation in the field for thousands of hours with no degradation of any critical system components. This product is offered as a complete package, inclusive of an integrated control system, all power supplies, radiation shielding, moderator (if required), etc.
