The h o u s i n g c o n t a i n i n g the Sealed-Tube is shown in an elevated position. In actual operation, it is lowered below ground to reduce the cost of shielding.
• • • I N COMPLETE ACTIVATION ANALYSIS SYSTEMS Baird-Atomic space-saving, completely integrated Neutron Activation Systems can be effectively utilized in an extremely wide range of appli cations including: — TRACE ANALYSIS IN GENERAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY — TRACE ANALYSIS IN METALS — INCLUDING OXYGEN, PHOSPHORUS, NITRO GEN, AND SULPHUR IN STEEL — DETERMINATION OF MERCURY AND ARSENIC IN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS IN CRIME DETECTION — DETERMINATION OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS IN MINERALS — BIOMEDICAL/BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS
| · · · FOR REACTOR EXPERIMENTS AND MATERIALS RESEARCH By introducing a pulse of neutrons into a subcritical reactor core and observing the resultant flux with respect to time, reactivity and prompt neutron lifetime can be studied. Continuous neutron fluxes of up to 10'" neutrons per second can be produced. Pulsed operation will yield up to 5 χ JO13 neutrons per second.
• FOR SAFE, ECONOMICAL CLASSROOM DEMONSTRATIONS OF NUCLEAR PHENOMENA Because of the very few precautions required in the use of the generator (absolutely safe — no neutron output when power is turned off), it is ideal for demonstrating and teaching basic nuclear physics including: — — — — —
