nGen-300 Series

Simple, flexible, hand-carriable continuous
​or pulsed neutrons with D-D or D-T

A human-portable, flexible neutron generator grounded end-target design for greater utilization. All high-voltage is contained within sealed generator envelope. Connecting cable to power box is low voltage for field safety. This system is ideal for basic laboratory use or active interrogation with a wide range of operation from continuous to pulsing >kHz. Ideal for field use with battery pack.  Integrated neturon detector option for real-time feedback control. 
Neutron yield:
up to 1e7 n/s D-D,
​
up to ​​5e8 n/s D-T 

View Starfire's virtual presentation from the 2021 SORMA-West Conference
on using the nGen-300 series to replace radioisotopes used by the IAEA
​for nuclear inspection with integrated real-time feedback control.
