2. Neutron generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_generator

   Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear particle accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen together. The fusion reactions take place in these devices by accelerating either deuterium , tritium , or a mixture of these two isotopes into a metal hydride target which also contains ...

3. Neutron source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_source

   Some isotopes undergo spontaneous fission (SF) with emission of neutrons.The most common spontaneous fission source is the isotope californium-252. 252 Cf and all other SF neutron sources are made by irradiating uranium or a transuranic element in a nuclear reactor, where neutrons are absorbed in the starting material and its subsequent reaction products, transmuting the starting material into ...

   A schematic nuclear fission chain reaction. 1. A uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron and fissions into two new atoms (fission fragments), releasing three new neutrons and some binding energy. 2. One of those neutrons is absorbed by an atom of uranium-238 and does not continue the reaction. Another neutron is simply lost and does not collide with ...

6. Traveling wave reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_wave_reactor

   Red: uranium-238, light green: plutonium-239, black: fission products. Intensity of blue color between the tiles indicates neutron density A traveling-wave reactor ( TWR ) is a proposed type of nuclear fission reactor that can convert fertile material into usable fuel through nuclear transmutation , in tandem with the burnup of fissile material.

7. Fast-neutron reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-neutron_reactor

   The BN-350 fast-neutron reactor at Aktau, Kazakhstan.It operated between 1973 and 1994. A fast-neutron reactor (FNR) or fast-spectrum reactor or simply a fast reactor is a category of nuclear reactor in which the fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons (carrying energies above 1 MeV, on average), as opposed to slow thermal neutrons used in thermal-neutron reactors.
