Abstract: A neutron activator includes a neutron source and a first reflector-moderator. The neutron source has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis (B). A metallic target as part of the neutron source is provided to produce neutrons through the interaction with a proton beam, the target having at least one plate arranged transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis (B). The neutron source also includes a cooling circuit to cool the metallic target. The first reflector-moderator has an activation area configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated.

Abstract: A neutron activator for neutron activation of a material, the neutron activator being configured to produce neutrons from an interaction with a proton beam (7), the neutron activator comprising: a neutron source comprising a metallic target (1), and a Beryllium first reflector-moderator (4) peripheral to the neutron source and comprising a neutron activation area (10) configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated, the neutron activation area (10) of the first reflector-moderator (4) comprising a bore configured to accommodate the neutron source.

Abstract: A neutron activator includes a neutron source and a reflector-moderator. The neutron source has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis (B). A metallic target as part of the neutron source is provided to produce neutrons through the interaction with a proton beam, the metallic target having a plurality of plates arranged transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis (B). The neutron source also includes a cooling circuit to cool the metallic target. The reflector-moderator has an activation area configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated.
