Zetatron neutron tube and pulse transformer for driving it: a transfer of technology to the private sector

The fabrication, testing, and delivery of ten Zetatron tubes (for use in logging probes for U exploration) under Phase I of Contract 07-5363 was successfully completed by Kaman Sciences Corporation. Twelve starts were required to complete ten acceptable tubes. This is an excellent performance record for first-fabrication attempts of a tube design that was new to Kaman Sciences Corporation. The fabrication of test transformer and tube-transformer assemblies required under Phase II of the contract was satisfactorily completed. Testing of these components is still in progress
