NEUTRON ACTIVATOR, NEUTRON ACTIVATION SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH NEUTRON ACTIVATOR AND METHOD FOR NEUTRON ACTIVATION IMPLEMENTING SUCH NEUTRON ACTIVATOR

摘要

Neutron activator, neutron activation system comprising such neutron activator and method for neutron activation implementing such neutron activator A neutron activator (10)comprising: -a neutron source (11) comprising: a housing (12) extending along a longitudinal axis (B), and a metallic target (20) configured to produce neutrons through the interaction with a proton beam (5), the target (20) comprising at least one plate (21) arranged transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis (B), a cooling circuit configured to cool the metallic target (20), -a first reflector-moderator (35) including an activation area (36) configured to accommodate the neutron source (11) and the material to be activated.
