Brief technology description

DescriptionThese are intended for obtaining neutron fluxes with energy of 14 MeV for the

d (T, n) reaction and 2.5 MeV for the d (D, n) reaction on accelerators of the charged particles.

The targets obtain the neutron fluxes, stable in time, of required intensity.The life of targets compares favorably with the best world analogs.

Innovative Aspect and Vain Advantages:• Neutron fluxes, neutron n/s……………108 to 1013

• Target diameter, mm .….....11.6 to 432• Substrates ……………….….copper, molybdenum• Tritium and deuterium sorbents…….……..titanium, zirconium, scandium

Mass surface density of sorbents, mg/cm2…….0.5 to 3• Number of tritium (deuterium) atoms per• sorbent atom, over……………..……..…….1.5• Number of standardized sizes………………..…………..…………….10To meet specific requirements, any possible modification is a pretty fat

chance for you.
