Abstract
Descriptions are given of a neutron generator with D-T neutron intensity over 10/sup 11/ neutrons/sec and D-D neutrons over 10/sup 9/ neutrons/sec. The specifications of the ion source are as follows: deuterium ion flux from the source, is a to 11 ma; content of D/sub 2/O, approximately 85%; deuterium consumption, approximately 53 cm/sup 3//h; the length of ion drawing system, 10 mm; the channel diameter, 3.5 mm; prolate force, 7 to 8 kev; the power used by the generator, 500 to 600 N; and frequency, 25 Mhz. The operating data of the installation showed that the maximum intensity for neutron flux at 14 Mev is 5.3 x 10/sup 11/ neutrons/ sec; at 2.5 Mev, 5.0 x 10/sup 9/ neutrons/sec. (R.V.J.)
