Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A neutron generator and isotope production apparatus and method of using the same to produce commercially and medically useful neutrons. The gamma,n reaction produces neutrons in beryllium and deuterium and the spectrum of the neutrons generated is shaped to optimize capture of the neutrons in a gamma emitting isotope. The gammas interact with target materials to produce large quantities of neutrons.
