High-Fidelity Dynamic Neutron Imaging and Radiography for Subcritical Experiments and Other Applications (Final Report)
- Mission Support and Test Services, LLC (MSTS), North Las Vegas, NV (United States)
This project aims to advance neutron technologies that support subcritical experiments (SCEs) and other dynamic material applications. In previous years, there were three main thrusts for this project. The first and main effort focused on imaging the source of neutrons on a dense plasma focus (DPF). The second portion focused on improving the neutron yield from a DPF. The source developed on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) Gemini DPF yielded ~8 × 1011 deuterium-deuterium (DD) neutrons/pulse in relatively short pulse widths of approximately 100 ns FWHM.
