ELECTRODE PAIR FOR GENERATING NEUTRON, NEUTRON GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR GENERATING NEUTRON AND PACKAGE INSPECTION DEVICE USING ELECTRODE PAIR AND NEUTRON GENERATOR

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electrodes for generating neutrons and a neutron generator which can generate neutrons with high efficiency, controllability and reproducibility and supply a package inspection device which makes it possible to suppress its size owing to the high efficiency in neutron generation and is excellent in the controllability and reproducibility of neutron generation by using the electrodes for generating neutrons and the neutron generator. PSOLUTION: The electrode pair for generating neutrons is used that includes a first electrode which contains an electric conductor and a hydrogen absorbing alloy wire wound helically around the electric conductor and a second cylindrical and reticulated electrode displaced around the first electrode.
