PNL has developed a long-lived neutron generator capable of delivering up to 3e11 D-D fusion neutrons (or 5e13 D-T fusion neutrons) per second.
These systems were designed to power high performance nuclear fusion based devices for the purpose of driving the future of medical and homeland security applications. Consequently, they are some of the most advanced on the market today.
Capabilities:
Ion Sources
- Helicon-based ion or electron sources (~10mA)
- Microwave ion sources cabable of >50mA D+ emission
Accelerators
- PNL has developed a 300 kV, 50 mA CW accelerator designed to operate 24/7.
Ion/Electron Focus
- PNL has built water-cooled solenoid focus magnets producing fields <0.6 T
- PNL has teamed with DTE Research and Design to produce an electrostatic quadrupole for beam focus
Particle Sources
- PNL has produced 3e10 n/s in the lab at low ion beam current.
- Shielding upgrades will allow us to test to full capaiblity - 4e11 n/s with D-D.
- When operated with tritium gas, the same device will be able to produce 5e13 n/s.
- The device produces zero neutrons when shutdown.
