Abstract
The technologies of neutron sources production developed by RIAR are r eviewed. To produce Cf-252-containing core, different techniques are u sed depending on the source type. They are: impregnation of foam-alund um billets, glass beads and cermet production (point sources), electro plating on the platinum cathode (linear sources). Neutron sources prod uced by RIAR are one-or two-capsule design. Capsules are made of stain less steel and argon are-welded. Neutron output of the sources varies from 1 x 10(6) to 2 x 10(10) cm(-2) s(-1). Sources are widely used in medicine, industry, and research work. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
