The Institute is the only organization in Russia that has the full-scale research and technical facilities and technology to produce portable neutron generators for a variety of applications. The developed neutron generators provide pulse neutron radiation with a wide range of flux, frequencies and pulse width.
VNIIA also has the necessary technology to produce the main components of the neutron generators: vacuum and gas-filled neutron tubes, switching components, high voltage transformers and capacitors.
The Institute develops and produces neutron generator driven equipment for such applications as:
gas and oil well-logging;
neutron radiation analysis of elements;
research of the physics of nuclear reactors and critical assemblies;
detection and monitoring of nuclear material content;
detection of explosives.
The neutron generators have unique specifications:
weight from 0.5 to 10 kg;
neutron yield up to 1011 n/s;
pulse duration from 0.01 microseconds up to constant flux.
VNIIA supplies its neutron generators to the USA, the UK, Germany, China, the CIS countries as well as to the domestic customers.
