Technical feasibility of a high current accelerator for a (p,n) or (d,n) neutron generator

Description

There are a number of approaches to a 14 MeV neutron source to be used in a radiation test facility for controlled thermonuclear research, all of which involve an extrapolation of existing technology. The Chalk River high current test facility is a 100 percent duty factor linear proton accelerator designed to study problems associated with accelerating high beam currents and experience with it places us in a unique position to assess many of the problems which will be common to the neutron generators. This paper will discuss our experience with the facility, our present program, and its relevance to a feasibility assessment of neutron generator proposals
