Use of generator produced neutrons in coal analysis: Quarterly report, December 16, 1986-March 15, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6504535
The results obtained in the previous report period indicate the desirability of using the D,D generator to obtain a spectrum in using 2.5 MeV neutrons. In a previous report (June 16, 1986 to September 14, 1986), it was pointed out that, in order to use the same electronics normally used for the D,T neutron generator with the D,D neutron generator, certain modifications would have to be made. In this report we have addressed these problems including the reservoir control circuit, construction of an adaptor to use unpotted D,D tubes in the borehole probe, and measurement of the 2.5 MeV flux.
