Method for producing collimators and other components from neutron absorbing materials using additive manufacturing
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1924949
Collimators and other components for use in neutron scattering experiments or to provide neutron shielding in nuclear reactors or accelerator based neutron sources are produced by additive manufacturing from neutron absorbing material, such as boron carbide (B4C) or isotopically enriched boron carbide (10B).
