Neutron Silver Activation Demo Cell

This area is for discussions involving any fusion related radiation metrology issues. Neutrons are the key signature of fusion, but other radiations are of interest to the amateur fusioneer as well.

Great work Jim! Somewhat leaky fusors, like ours, keep getting better as long as rather continuous operation persists. I hit 500,000 n/s TIER last night at 44kv. I just need more voltage to do better. I have up to 60kvDC sitting just outside the lab in a 60hz old XRF supply contained in a 700lb steel, oil filled box, but it would require a total, ground-up, rebuild of my entire system area in the back of the lab.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
