APPLICATION OF NUCLEAR ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES USING LONG-LIFE SEALED-TUBE NEUTRON GENERATORS

The new range of sealed-tube neutron generators developed by SODERN ap pears to be appropriate for the industrial environment. The main chara cteristics are the high emission stability during the very long lifeti me of the tube, flexible pulsed mode capability, safety in operation w ith no radiation in ''off'' state, and the easy transportation of equi pment. Some applications of the neutron generators, called GENIE, are considered: high-sensitivity measurement of transuranic elements in nu clear waste drums, bulk material analysis for process control, and det ermination of the airborne pollutants for environmental monitoring.
