Neutron Source Target System
There are many patents, including the target and the cooling water system. The proton beam transmitted by the cyclotron hits the beryllium target, triggering the 9Be(p,n) reaction to convert protons into high-energy neutrons, and the heat accumulated on the target is quickly taken away by the cooling water flow. Long-distance target change system makes the maintenance of the target more convenient and safer. The neutron source target system can be divided into two parts, which has the following features:
-
Neutron generating target station：
- High-purity beryllium target with a safety system
- Patented target design and high-efficiency cooling system to prolong the life of beryllium targets
-
Long-distance target change system：
- Prevent staff from receiving unnecessary radiation doses
- With three years storage space, the replaced consumables can be placed until the half-life has expired before removed, taking radiation safety into consideration.
