Research on the design of a radiation biodevice based on a compact D-D neutron generator

Le résumé fourni par la source

In this research, we used a self-developed compact D-D neutron generator and designed a neutron radiation biological device. The research results showed that lead was the material with the best neutron permeability; thus, hard lead was selected as the structural material for this device. Our research disclosed a phenomenon that differed from conventional wisdom, namely, the dose contribution of the neutrons reflected from the hard lead material at the top of the device was about twice that of the polyethylene material. Therefore, hard lead was also selected for the material of the top reflector in this device. The study also showed that the device had good dose uniformity, and the standard neutron absorption dose in each irradiation zone could be obtained according to the simulation results. This device may further promote the development of future research work such as neutron radiation biological effects and mutation breeding.
