Abstract

The Starfire Industries nGen-350 DD neutron generator has been developed for use with the Fast Neutron Coincidence Collar (FNCL). The generator was adapted from the nGen-310 model generator by Starfire to accommodate an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) request to incorporate a neutron yield stabilization mechanism. An nGen-350 generator was obtained by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for evaluation as a potential neutron interrogation source replacement for Am(Li) in the FNCL. This report provides a summary of the performance of the nGen-350.
