Californium-252 is used in a variety of industrial applications to deliver neutron dose. The design of the delivery system, i.e., the system that places the {sup 252}Cf source next to the item being exposed, is a crucial part of a successful irradiator system. This paper reviews different types of delivery systems and discusses the benefits and limitations of each type of system. A recently installed irradiator uses a straight-line pneumatic tube and a multiple-source carousel to rapidly and accurately deliver different radioactive sources to the same position.
